You know, all the times I’ve observed that we should #guillotine the #oligarchy, I was wrong. While I’m sure the French would love to see the American people deal with our oligarchs as they deserve, why appropriate French culture when there’s a uniquely #US #American option right there: tar and feather your local oligarch. It effectively communicates our antipathy towards them, while harkening back to and reclaiming the true spirit of a period of our history that jingoists love to romanticize.

“Joseph-Ignace Guillotin (French:[ʒozɛfiɲasɡijɔtɛ̃]) (28 May 1738 – 26 March 1814) was a French physician, politician, and freemason who proposed on 10 October 1789 the use of a device to carry out executions in France, as a less painful method of execution than existing methods.”

Suitable sentence [1] for most billionaires: "40 acres and a mule, and an impenetrable wall around it all".

Think they would enjoy subsistence farming?

[1] Assuming they're guilty of serious crimes, which is a fair bet. And assuming you're not a #guillotine fan.
