rehabilitation is better

however, we do have to do something with those billionaires and oligarchs

Let’s rehabilitate them with forced poverty.

Relieve them of their heads

Let's get rid of poverty for everyone. No one deserves to live poor.

We should force the people who were super greedy and became dragons with hoards of cash to work for the public in a service job like janitor or old person care. Maybe that will make them think about other people.
