Wealth tax that goes directly to funding a billionaire audit program. It should create a self-perpetuating cycle that means IRS audits for all of them every year.

Same as that guys from yesterday. I would prefer a guillotine, but You gotta work with whatcha got.
They need to regularly take a shit, like everybody else. They just use more expensive toilet paper I suppose.
Except at their offices where they but the thinnest 1 ply air they possibly can.

in the (translated) Words of Knorkator:
The world doesn't need billionaires imagine how beautiful it would be without you! Empathy and reason instead of greed and scam fresh air, green forests, clean seas.
The world doesn't need billionaires and we will even achieve this without guns: No, we won't kill you and we won't imprison you, on the opposite: you will be millionaires!
Their an abomination. An exploitation of a system that values exponential growth more than inherent human values. In a world where public infrastructure is collapsing and there's homeless people on tbe street, individuals should not be able to amass such absurd wealth only for their own self enrichment.
Leeches. Fuck em.
Kill The Rich, that's my stance.
There's no reasoning with them, getting through to them or anything. Talk time is long over because we've tried over and over again. They're committed to self-serving only themselves and other rich friends, over valuing what could've been, a more prosperous progressing society and world.
I don't know what kind of response you're expecting for this, but all that's going to happen is that you'll get responses like mine, you'll get billionaire ass-kissers and maybe middle of the road responses.
I want to be one and buy land and develop a village and live on a mansion on a hill overlooking it. Not for profit or anything, make the houses affordable (maybe rent them out and then sell it to the tenants after a certain time, factoring paid rent as a discount?) for nice people. Just have myself a wee community and LARP as a 17th century lord (the nice kind)
Abolish with prejudice
I support billionaire behaviour fully
