Outlaw billionaires, tax them out of existence, and use the proceeds to fund needed social programs like medical care for all and universal basic income.

They can still be richer than 99% of us as multimillionaires, and the more wealth these elites create, the better our society becomes through the tax sequestration - it’s a win win.

Plus, we already know it works.

We just need to tweak it to take into account the ways the rich cheat the system.

A little history might just inspire us to try that taxing again.

I hear you too but I’m just tired of giving these people more olive branches for them to strangle us with 😮‍💨

Its still beyond social democrat policies. Modern social democrats are actively in favor of enriching the billionaire class in order to strengthen The Economy™. Their metamorphosis into an extension of the will of the ruling class is complete.

What’s the difference between millionaire and a billionaire? About a billion dollars.

I’d prefer abolition of the system entirely that makes this possible. If we just tax the rich, they will be able to reinstate the system however long it takes.

Make it as unattractive for them as possible to even consider working against society’s wellbeing.
