All billionaires must submit a list of five things they did for society in the last week or their wealth shall be confiscated.
What else should we expect from the Society of Rich Super Villains! @adamsfan @MostlyHarmless
@MostlyHarmless Stole, committed fraud, lied, exercised apathy, and spewed hate.
@MostlyHarmless do the shareholders count as “society”
@MostlyHarmless confiscate it anyway
@dgodon @MostlyHarmless this. we need to take it and do those things ourselves.
@MostlyHarmless they're gonna give you a list of times they donated to their personal charity lol
@MostlyHarmless And they’ve got precisely 5 seconds to do so, right?
@MostlyHarmless You know, back in the days the president thinks were so great, corporations had to demonstrate public good. Indemnification for rich people was contingent on showing public good and subject to periodic review.

@MostlyHarmless

They'd go on about how much good they did with their money until you wanted to haul out a guillotine just to shut them up.

Try: must produce a list of 5 strangers they personally helped in the last week, even to give them directions or a seat on the bus.

Keep track of it: most of us (if we even did keep track of it) could produce five a week.

And they could not. They do not live the kind of lifestyle where they *interact* with ordinary people, much less tell them the time.

@RoyBrander @MostlyHarmless in all fairness, I doubt many of us helped five strangers in the past week. I don't even think I talked to or encounter that many strangers in a week.
@MostlyHarmless
1. doge the taxes
2. dogw the fines
3. doge the contributions
4. pwn the government
5. pwn you
@MostlyHarmless I mean, why would they be afraid, with their work ethos and intelligence, how long will it take them to rebuild their wealth?! /s
@MostlyHarmless
Better yet:
"All billionaires must submit, their wealth shall be confiscated."

@MostlyHarmless

If they can justify it, they get to keep 10%.

@gnoll110 @MostlyHarmless I feel you are way too generous.

@alterelefant @MostlyHarmless

I know. But I do have other conditions. 90% income tax, unrealised CGT (on $10M+), and 1% annual wealth tax (also on $10M+). If they really are good at whet they do, they should get to keep managing the operation.

@MostlyHarmless funny fact billionaires do whatever 5 things on their own dime! Government employees do it on us citizens tax dollars!

@MostlyHarmless

Let me fix this to make it better:

All billionaires m̶u̶s̶t̶ s̶u̶b̶m̶i̶t̶ a̶ l̶i̶s̶t̶ o̶f̶ f̶i̶v̶e̶ t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ t̶h̶e̶y̶ d̶i̶d̶ f̶o̶r̶ s̶o̶c̶i̶e̶t̶y̶ i̶n̶ t̶h̶e̶ l̶a̶s̶t̶ w̶e̶e̶k̶ o̶r̶ t̶h̶e̶i̶r̶ wealth shall be confiscated.

Precisely - it's got nothing to do with deserving. Imagine if someone rolled into town and just bought up all the food in the grocery store. It doesn't matter if they've got the money, it's avarice to take more than you need.
@MostlyHarmless

PS. I although I realise the original toot is meant to be a glib riff and not, like, policy.

@MostlyHarmless does their wealth mean their head?
@MostlyHarmless must be commensurate of said wealth, and without absurd delusions.
@MostlyHarmless
Good things they did for society, to be determined by society itself of course

Robin Hood Theory of Economics - Ditch that! May you become a billionaire and do good to the people!

@MaxKnight @MostlyHarmless

Take the wealth of the rich. They didn't earn it, and they don't need it.

@MostlyHarmless It is not easy harbouring all these shares in electricity supply companies, you know? (Erm... what is a share, anyway?)

@MostlyHarmless Mere submission of such a list is not sufficient, or else they could get away with saying things like "Saving taxpayers a bunch of money by increasing government efficiency".

These people live and breathe bullshit.

@MostlyHarmless if they paid their taxes, maybe we wouldn't need their handouts.

@Robbes0211 @MostlyHarmless

If we forcefully take the rich capitalists stolen wealth, we won't need their handouts (of our stolen wages) either. #socialism #capitalism

@MostlyHarmless

Its not "their" wealth, its pirate booty, its stolen gold, it's tax avoidance,its wage theft, its pension theft, its leaving the costs of doing business to taxpayers, its offshoring, its environmental degradation, its coercive market control, its monopolies, its monopsonies, its slave labour in offshore factories, its unsafe working conditions.

Billionaires aren't wealthy.

Ffs, its not "their" money, its pirate gold.

Billionaires are an alarm of failure.

@MostlyHarmless

Billionaires? We can't afford them.

@MostlyHarmless would need a panel to adjudicate on the value of these items. Otherwise they'd just get some minion to fake them up.

@MostlyHarmless

How about they submit their five things, we feed it to an AI model, then use that model to identify people who talk and think like those billionaires? Maybe Luigi will be available to talk to them by then.
