    On a side note: Amazon is fucking complicit as fuck with this administration. Bezos made this happen. When this is over, and soon enough it will be, we CANNOT forget the roles that billionaires (and especially certain billionaires) have played in all this.

    These billionaires need to be stripped of their wealth and jailed for life as far as I’m concerned. They are traitors to the country, and they happily sold out the entire population to a maniac dictator wannabe just to earn an extra buck

    They should be fucking hanging from trees as an example to others.

    NO MORE MILLIONAIRES, NO MORE BILLIONAIRES

    I want a word wide hard wealth cap. You worth over a million? All the rest of your income goes 100% to taxes until you’re below again

      I’m just preparing myself for the crushing down votes here, but you’re going to have a hard time with the no more Millionaires angle. A HUGE chunk of the US are millionares, at least on paper with their houses alone. If you weave in retirement, it’s going to be many, many more. Plus with inflation this is only going to get more saturated.

      Can we draw the line at say… 100M and tie it to what the median Net Worth going forward? I’m just being realistic on messaging to get the most impact from your statement. There are very very few people at 10M Net Worth, and after 100M, you’re into the super greed and not like professionals: Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, Plumbers, Electricians, Dentists, Engeineers, & etc. who’ve actually earned that money and are in their late careers vs. making it off someone else’s back. If they got there earning a check or even many small businesses it’s probably pretty legit.

      I can’t however, see how anyone could get to 100M without 1) Family/Inheritance, 2) Big Business and all that entails, 3) Lottery, and 4) Illegally: Grift, Corruption, Stock Manipulation, illicit drugs, Weapons, etc.
