I'm now starting to think, that the only solution to the predicament we are in, is a highly focused campaign to place progressive taxes on the top 1%, with the highest levels being on the very top, the billionaires, to tax them out of existence.

Without removing the malignant influence of the oligarchs, and their ability to corrupt and manipulate our societies, with their stupendous wealth, we'll only ever get the oligarch agenda. Then afterwards, we'll be on a level playing field, without this manipulation.

What I'm talking about is a new political direction, and temporary party, with the simple aim of neutralizing the undue influence of the very rich, by reducing their wealth, to more modest levels, to remove their malign influence.

The rest of this policy, would until this change has been created, be middle of the road general policy of the rational kind. It should be as non-ideological as possible, to attract support from both sides of the political divide.

There's lots of support, for decreasing the influence of the very rich and it'd provide funding for public services. After the influence of the very rich had been neutralized, we could get down, to how to fairly run our societies, without the influence of the very richest.

By the top 1%, I mean the top 1% of voting age people, in each country, meaning this heavy progressive taxation, wouldn't apply to 99% of voters.
What we'd need to avoid, is anyone wanting to use this, to apply their personal agenda. This is why I suggest neutral policy.
