I say kill them, especially the billionaires who are also chuds, then tax the surviving billionaires

It's going to come to that sooner than we think.

I thought this years events would have done it, but people are still waiting

Or nothing will change for the better because we engage in this childish and now apparently murderous nonsense online instead of doing anything practical.

Yep, and sanity like what you just said gets downmodded more than upmodded. It's like there are only children here.

The people who talk openly about murdering us with their policies, budget proposals, and lunatic campaign funding are having people talk about murdering them! powercry-2 O' the humanity!

Fantasizing about killing billionaires is cringe because it almost never leads to anything practical. Actions speak louder than words

Close the "earn, loan, die" loophole to avoid taxes on unrealized gains. If you list an asset as collateral for a loan, then it is immediately taxable as if it were the same value.

Also, every year, we should redistribute 50% of the wealth of the richest person in the country. You get a ticker-tape parade, a nice statue, and the honor of knowing that you are helping millions of people without making any impact on your lavish lifestyle.

There are a lot more things we can do, but I feel like these would be two pretty easy starting places to curb the billionaire problem.

Oh, and we should also make it so that private equity and investors are paid LAST in a bankruptcy. Tired of good companies being bought ransacked, and folded so a billionaire can make a few mil from robbing employee pensions, shortchanging contractors and stiffing suppliers.
