The trickle-down hypothesis. Guaranteed to ensure that the gap between the

NB I know that your theory suggests otherwise but - in practice - it's no
more
than a thin excuse for the greedy to 'justify' their greed.

What would be your solution for wealth creation? Also, can you
demonstrate that it would be more effective than capitalism?

Matt, Capitalism works with breaks on it. Letting it go wild means the
freedom amass far too much of the wealth of a society (that is the freedom
the American are always on about). Look at the percentage of the wealth
that is hands of the few in all major western capitalist countries. It is
clear wealth is not evenly distributed, and an obscene amount of wealth is
in the hands of the few, who then become powerful. So, they then have
wealth to back their power in mainly propaganda.

Land Value Tax promotes wealth creation as it does not tax a mans labour and
effort to get on, and distributes the proceeds of production more evenly.
