Kinda? But lots of land in timber country isn’t really as valuable as, say, half an acre in a city.

This is the oldest false argument for trickle down economics that never seems to go away. Remove a bunch of *illionaires and sure a few industries like luxury yachting will suffer, but if you give a rich person $1000, and a poor person $1000 who do you think will spend it?
