Everyone seems to forget offshore tax havens, or as I like to call it, 'The Well of Souls'. (£36 TRILLION as of 2016)

Whatever it takes, and peaceful solutions have proven ineffective for decades.

Change needs to be cultural. So long as we live in our current cultural distinctions of "mine and thine" instead of some sort of collaborative being then this will keep on happening.

To somewhat even out the wealth gap I think higher taxes on the wealthy and more rights for unions is pretty much all that is needed.

I'm sure if we asked the billionaires and their paid-for politicians nicely, they'll start writing and enforcing laws that'll tax them more and give more rights to unions.

we don’t really… do consequences for the rich.

They should be treated like we treat Nazis of old.

Hide them in Argentina while giving them top positions at NASA and the CIA?

The scariest part is that every American I know personally has no idea any of these ICE raids are even happening, let alone that they've started detaining judges and mayors or what that even implies. Americans are so dangerously uninformed.

Except no mercy this time. No plucking any of them out of the trials to build rockets or create federal intelligence agencies or cutting any deals like the USA did with the Nazi's. Fascists don't believe in mercy anyway so why show them any?
