So, the Swiss inheritance tax thing didn't pass. What really got my attention was how this all ties into the bigger issue of inequality. It's honestly kind of shocking to see how many people are against the idea of wealth being spread around a bit more. I mean, you'd think a fairer system would be something most people would support.
But what really struck me was the sheer weight the wealthy used to influence the vote. It makes you wonder how much of what we think is public opinion is really just a reflection of what those with deep pockets want us to believe. It is an extreme influence.
To me, this means we seriously need to start thinking about other ways to fix the tax system. This vote might be over, but the underlying problem of financial fairness isn't going anywhere. It feels like we are still far away from finding the answer to the tax issues. We obviously have a long way to go before the system feels fair to everyone.
