One of the arguments by the rich is that excessive tax hampers progress. Now we can all see why that is a critical safeguard to have.

They like to say these things that don't actually make any sense.

It's the same with the crying around Europe's mandatory USB-C connector. "Oh it stifles progress" Apple protested.
Forgetting they had the same unchanged connector, and in fact data protocol on their devices for twelve years before Europe decided they wanted a standard, with all the freedom to improve it.

A standard, apple already adopted for everything not iPhone no less.
