One-time taxes are dumb. The organizers of this tax should have the confidence of their arguments to make them permanent, or they shouldn't do it at all.

I guess that by the time a tax had been applied once, the targets would have worked out a way to avoid it anyway.
Apparently, in old Athens, not only were taxes one off, but they were explicitly targeted too, like "It's about time the Alcmaeonids pay for a festival again."
i’ll take it. then we can move on to the permanent tax.
So we should stop the one-time tax paid low interest loans to companies too? Or should billionaires pay their fair share.
There's so much FUD as is I think pushing for a permanent version wouldn't be a good starting point. It's not about confidence, it's pragmatic
