      I won’t stand in your way. I am in principle against death penalty, but sometimes you have to break a few eggs.

      Its certainly simpler, though hardly a solution. There’s always more billionaires unless you change the system that created them.

        Pretty sure that you’d have less and less once you start hanging them, but of course, I am not an expert (yet).

        I mean would you want to become a billionaire if you knew you’d end up hanging?

        Tax them, give them a choice, and if they choose…poorly, then hang them.

        I bet you if ceos start erm, falling down due to high speed objects that may affect brain functions , things get changed fast

        Tax.
        Its not complicated. It might take a few goes to get it just right but what we have now is pathetic.

          I agree, but also…There are famously ways to avoid taxes. You need a backup plan when taxation doesn’t work. And remember, once someone becomes trully wealthy, they’re above the law.

        I’m definitely for a change of the system too, but in the meantime there always more rope too.

      Yeah they think they’re so great and untouchable. Let them find out they’re mortal and fallible.
