Good points. We don't even need to tax the billionaires. Lets go with the MMT jobs guarantee program creating a high floor on the labor market. The MMT jobs program provides a federally funded job to anyone above 18 paying a living wage with full benefits. As such, employers, if they want employees, have to bid up from there. Another benefit? No more unemployment. Today, we have an economic system with baked in involuntary unemployment. This skews the "game" in favor of employers because employee's have to pay rent, food, etc.
