A 90% tax on wealth above $1 billion would fund a universal basic income for every citizen, but critics argue it would trigger capital flight, collapsing investment in innovation and jobs. Should society accept potential economic disruption to structurally reduce extreme inequality, or preserve incentive structures even if they perpetuate a wealth gap?

Why this dilemma matters
Freedom dilemmas weigh personal autonomy against collective protection. Choosing “Implement the 90% threshold tax: structural equality matters more than protecting the investment behaviors of a tiny elite” prioritises the right to choose; choosing “Reject the tax: sustaining economic dynamism and innovation ecosystems benefits society more than forced redistribution” gives more weight to the duty to protect others.

- Is the safer option also the more honest one?
