if some have more than one layer it could fewer but that's the order of magnitude

> anytime a person in power feels like assassinating a leader or taking out a dissident

I don't really see much of a difference nowadays

In all seriousness without the government you would have no innovation and progress, because it's the public school system, functioning roads, research grants a stable and lawful society that allow you to do any kind of innovation.

Apart from that, you have answered to a strawman. I said redistribute, not give to the government. I explicitly worded things that way because I don't think we should not be having a discussion on policy.

I think we are moving to an economy where the share of profits taken by capital becomes much larger than the one take from labor. If that happens then laborers will have very little discretionary income to fuel consumption and even capitalists will end up suffering. We can choose to redistribute now or wait for it to happen naturally, however that usually happens in a much more violent way, be it hyperinflation, famine, war or revolution.

Not everybody realizes that and they often fall for the single room in the hospital.

Shorter waiting times is definitely a thing though, especially for non life threatening conditions.

When you are rich enough you can just borrow using your wealth as collateral and never incur in capital gains.
