Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

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.
