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."

So we should stop the one-time tax paid low interest loans to companies too? Or should billionaires pay their fair share.
