RE: Is Steemit worth the effort for the 99 percent? Do we need a Steemit tax system?
A social benefits tax / dole?
That's funny, your personal tag line "Destroying Cultural Marxism" does not agree with the idea of the tax you just suggested.
All of us started out as noobs, some earlier than others, and put the work in. Steemit as of yesterday just implemented changes to benefit the noobs, on Steemit, known as minnows. So put the work in, and you will get the rewards.
Why would we even call if TAX - Its only a word used by a central government. Aside from the use of the word TAX, I do agree leveling the playing field is important for new users and I believe the recent hard fork has just done that. We'll all have a much better idea over the next few weeks to see how it's working out for everyone.
I am not a top earner, ( you can check my profile), but I do not agree with taxing the top people. They were the early starters, who took the risk of investing time in something that might go nowhere. Sure the rules were different then, but as @altcointrends said, we now have Hard Fork 19, and so the payouts are distributed more evenly.
I agree with the thoughts that @anarchony expresses in his comment.
I have seen a flood of newcomers asking for handouts or complaining when they haven't even really tried, creating content that people value and building an audience. Steemit is not money for nothing. Put the work in you will get the rewards.
No, this is not like the real world where the 1% profit from the rape and pillage of the environment an community. In the world of Steemit, the value is created by your own creative efforts.
Get busy!!!
I'm definitely no Socialist. I agree with Fechaugger. My point about "taxing" the top earners on here a very tiny amount is in the hope of giving noobies the means to give more back in to Steemit while at the same time giving them some hope. I understand that a cryptocurrency needs to grow naturally but I'm very anxious to see Steem and other similar platforms do very well. Any thorn in the side of the globalists and I'm all for it and I think Steemit is a great idea, I've had enough of the Google/Twitter/Facebook monopolies.
