Is that less work than taking it out for recycling though?

If we were a team of 1000 people and each saved life was worth 1 million, then we would still have earned enough money to make everyone of the 1000 team members a billionaire...
They wouldnt invest in assets if they didnt get paid for it so by your own definition, they are doing work.
(And technically if someone loved their job so much that they would do it even if they didnt get the money, then they would not be doing work and still getting paid for it)...
What reason is there to tax the rich more than we currently do? Why do they owe the government more money than they are currently being taxed for?
Whats your definition of work then? Id actually be interested...
We have roughly 8 billion people on earth. If a person's inventions and solutions combined improved the life of every person by a value of 13 cents, then they would have EARNED a billion dollars (because they would have created thta value).
Imagine I made a product that saves the life of 1,000,000 people (from an otherwise deadly desease). Is that not worth 1B dollars?
Yeah but they will be millionaires either way. If there is a threashold after which you dont get payed (much) for your innovations, then that will be the cap.

UK is a conplete chaos between the two. You buy liters of milk but gallons of gas. Speeds are in miles per hour. Close distances are in meters, longer ones in miles. I have seen weight both in grams and in pounds. And then the currency is even called pound.
"How many pounds does one pound of apples cost, sir?"
IT ＝ Information Technology (= Computer Science)
Im all for fixing that instead of just increasing the amount of taxes (which will then just hit the honest ones and not thr ones who are already evading taxes)
