@aburtch Guillotine billionaires, one at a time, on livestream, until the survivors beg to just pay taxes.
@aburtch As my mother said: you don't amass that much money unless you've hurt people. Usually a lot of people.
@aburtch
Billionaires are a inevitable consequence (sooner or later) of the concentration of money and power, which is inevitable consequence of monetary system (which includes both capitalism and socialism). Think about it.
@paelnever @aburtch No, they're not. Billionaires can only exist if it's possible for people to profit off the labour of others. Things don't have to be that way.

@aburtch In this current inflation yes.

IF the inflation rises enough you can say that about trillioniares and so forth.

I don't know what the formula should be, but I am pretty sure 1% should not own even 25% of the wealth of any given country.

@aburtch they do that even if you don't raise taxes
@aburtch This is because if the capital can't be saved from the majority of people and their cry for economic democracy by means of liberal policies it will be saved by other means, which quite often plays out to be fascist and/or authoritarian in nature.
@aburtch You won't do it by shouting, arrest, protest, legal, fiscal, political, punishment, or any other source of "headbutt" fight.
There are wall protecting them from every angle of attack.
Bringing down those walls requires intelligence, "OOTB" reasoning and CO-OPERATION.
That's all you can do.
