Except I think a better comparison would be if super-rich Emperor Varke EARNED 10 cookies.

I think there is a much larger difference in the number of cookies and we really need to remember that tax is on earned income (theoretically). No one gets cookies from the cookie fairy.

We then delve into “earned” vs “unearned” income. And also into the whole bit where investment is termed “job creation” and thus is heavily defended. Further complicated by long-term vs short-term investment and what and where the cookie dough is invested in.
