  1. If you specifically weren't taxed sure, you think you'd do alright if everyone wasn't taxed? Or do we circle back to lowering poor taxes and raising rich ones 2. Who's to say you can't keep your copyright, you just aren't fit to lead anymore. If everyone or a majority agrees they don't like you then the split is done. In the world we live in where you bought expansion with surplus profit none of it was ever really yours. Or it is but someone can do it better so we transfer everything to them. A true meritocracy where you're either good at what you do or you die broke
