      I’d be happy if they were just dead. The real question is how do effectively wipe out their wealth…

      We don’t need to take it. Just make it not exist. I’ve been thinking about this a bunch lately.

          Basically. If we all decide at once to ignore their “wealth”. Bam. They are no longer wealthy and their power goes poof.

          Unless they have a private army of drones of course.

            Threat of violence is the core of all power. Even wealth is just a way to account for how much you can leverage violence over another.

            or I think the desire to earn personal assets of that level should really be classified as a mental disease, like gambling addiction. And be treated accordingly
