Europe has a number of loopholes for the accumulation of wealth that have traditionally been used by the aristocracy. These apparently only become problematic to the signatories when members of the bourgeoisie, for example tech entrepreneurs, start using them as well.

There is a general need for taxation on wealth rather than labor in western societies. Its silly to single out big tech companies, which are actually an example of capitalism and free markets doing good: creating and rewarding the best products.



What is the split between aristocrats and bourgeois among the wealthiest Europeans?

Looking at the richest Europeans [0], they all seem to be bourgeois.
