@RadicalGraffiti I think that taxing them will make everyone better. For starters super taxing the billionaires will ensure that:

1. They will not become more powerful than the nations they are citizen of
2. Be discouraged from building trillion dollar companies by abusing the workers with zero hour contracts and other such-like actions
3. Give more money to states to distribute on education, health and improving the lives of citizens.

@chribonn @RadicalGraffiti we also need to be ejecting millionaires from Government. Make it unprofitable for the power to suck up to the billionaire class

@kc @RadicalGraffiti many go into politics to safeguard their interest and block all attempts to investigate them.

Sadly they have the resources to buy their agenda into public opinion. Will the public read this post or the Washington Post and Twitter?

@chribonn @RadicalGraffiti most of the time their own party or opposition parties will actively put an end to it, not for the public good but for their own benefit.

One way to start is bringing in more independents but yeah as you said the commerical media outlets (fucking Murdoch specifically) will go full destruction on their chances.

I don't have all the answers on this one but at a push I could find a molotov and the address of a few servers

@kc @RadicalGraffiti I'm less optimistic (and this is global IMO).

UK: David Cameroon the then UK prime minister behind Brexit was in the remain camp but gambled his country's future to keep his back benchers quite and win an election.

Richie Sunak is going ballistic against the environment a few months before the next general election.

Trump's main voter demographic are low income / education whites yet he's on tape telling bankers how much they own him for massive tax breaks.

@chribonn @RadicalGraffiti No one has the courage to place legal sanctions on them?

@chribonn @RadicalGraffiti I wish we could just cut them off at the source: outlaw rent, and require all corporations to be non-profit.

@hosford42 @RadicalGraffiti I'm not a communist. I would take anyone whose income is over 250million at 95%, anyone who is over 500 million at 99%.

The system must not allow bypass systems.

For every trillion dollar company that would not exists, a few million dollar companies would replace them. These "inefficient" alternatives would:

1. Employ more people
2. Pay them / treat them better
3. Move the wealth/well being median up

@chribonn @RadicalGraffiti I'm not a communist either. Not sure where that came from. I just don't think people should be able to sit on resources and charge people for access.
