    What if billionaires are subject to personal and professional review by an independent committee each year around tax time? If they are found at fault, they get a special super tax that year based on their gross total wealth valuation. Financial incentives to at least act like good people might be enough to help curb their shitty anti-everyone-else behavior.

      What if poor people stopped trying to think up creative ways to allow billionaires to continue to exist?

      They literally exist at your expense (and mine!), stop licking the boot that is literally stomping on your throat.

      What if any kind of wealth over a few millions is just taken from them by force.

      They don’t deserve, they either stole it or their daddy did.

      Good idea, but one of those “60-80% of the population wants it but only 10-20% of the ones who are SUPPOSED TO be representing them would ever dream of it” kind of deals 😮‍💨
