When it is demonstrated that this approach works, progressive taxation is the means with which it can be achieved in relation to the desired change in legislative approach.
The interesting bit thus isn't "does this work", but "how does one make the evidence of 'does this work' indisputable when viewed through the lens of shaping policy, when faced with a large cohort of rich libertarians hell bent on destroying civil society in favour of a feudal society owned by them."
@jzb Do not underestimate separation anxiety in cats who have their bonded human "disappear" on them.
A few summers ago, my SO and I went to my mother's summer cottage 30 minutes from the city where we lived. I would drive back each evening to water/feed our two cats, but as it happened, my grey bonded cat was always out roaming.
When we arrived home he basically read me the riot act, and for months after that experience he would reproachfully sit in front of the door whenever I made to leave.
