You get to keep enough to maintain a very modest lifestyle in a low-cost-of-living area, the rest of it has to go towards improving the world in some way.

Bribe politicians to add a constitutional amendment for a mandatory 30% minimum tax to gross income over $1M and assets/holdings over $1B.

I truly don’t believe $5b is anywhere close to being enough to do that.

The requirement to pass is only a 2/3 majority. $5b might be enough.

3/4 state legislatures, good luck.

You could just skip the constitution and do a coup and seize power, its already out the window anyways.

Yeah, one thing the Trump admin has taught me is that our constitution actually doesn’t mean shit. Not to us as American citizens and not to the government that swore to uphold it. We’ve all just been pretending to care about it until someone with a god complex decided to challenge us.
