Cool, let's do nothing and continue on this path then. You sound just like all the other temporarily embarrassed millionaires out there to *get yours and fuck everyone else *. Your defense of capitalistic greed is disgusting. You are part of the problem.
Lol no shot. I'm a socialist myself. I just don't think billionaires are the enemy. Hate the game, not the player. We need systemic change, not temporary measures.
The ultrarich players are ones making the rules, and surprise, the rules allow them to shut out the majority so they can have the most. Taxing them is no longer enough. At this point they need to be punished for being what they are and eliminated. Then real rules and enforcement need to be put in place to make things fair and equitable to everyone. That will never happen as long as the rich are making the rules. Period. Extreme greed must be made deadly or others will choose the path of hoarding wealth and they will deliberately cause suffering to do so just as all their kind do and have done.
Disagreed. If the ultra rich made the rules, we wouldn't have elections. The rules definitely don't allow to shut out the majority afaik. The choice to hoard wealth itself must be removed.
