  • Ah, maybe you don’t know this, but when someone says “but in all seriousness”, that’s a cue for you to realize the first part was a joke.

    So let’s try this again from a different angle: tax reform is an ineffectual way to deal with billionaires and does not work. The rich always influence politics and will always change the rules for taxation for their benefit. And if one country does manage to have a unified front and stop billionaires, they will simply move to a country that will take them, or who’s politicians can be bribed. We have had tax reform to stop monopolies and the ultra wealthy and that inevitably becomes undone.

    Your strategy is naive, and your attitude towards any other option is juvenile.




  • you would have to kill off entire families including some innocents

    You’ve already sold me you don’t have to keep selling

    In all seriousness, you think the people saying that we should kill billionaires don’t think there should also be other changes as well? You think they aren’t actively trying to push that reform? You’re just assuming people are violent and not trying to fix it, which is kinda judgemental on your part. Just because you want tax reform doesn’t mean other people haven’t figured that out as well.

    What I’m saying is, we can do both.
