    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.
      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.

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

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

        Which solved for example all problems in all countries who ever went into a killing frenzy, see the monument to equality that is France.

        You belong into (at least) therapy.
