Time to tax profit

We live in a country and a world where, to our shame, the gap between those well off and those who aren’t, continues to grow.

It could be one positive step towards redressing the gap. And by the way, what about a capital gains tax on investment property profits produced by the market and not by any efforts of those fortunate enough to own property? It’s the same principle, isn’t it?
