Apparently it's a thing.

Last fall, Tom Scocca, editor of the essential blog Hmm Daily, wrote a tiny, searing post that has been rattling around my head ever since.

“Some ideas about how to make the world better require careful, nuanced thinking about how best to balance competing interests,” he began. “Others don’t: Billionaires are bad. We should presumptively get rid of billionaires. All of them.”

Abolish Billionaires
A radical idea is gaining adherents on the left. It’s the perfect way to blunt tech-driven inequality.

Should Billionaires Even Exist?

Why abolish them? Just abolish their lawyers, accountants and loophole free tax laws. :)

But, apparently, it seems impossible to pass laws which are loophole free when it comes to taxation.

Yet, you drive on the wrong side of the road for no reason.....it's agin the loore.

Abolish tax havens.............but no, send troops to die in hell holes thousands of miles away for the right of the rich to hide their money in tax havens.

Makes perfect sense. It's so very difficult isn't it?

Just to pass a law, if you are found to be hiding wealth, avoiding tax, you lose it all.

So very hard.

everyone knows i go overboard in rubbishing the USA govts
personally believe thats a /the major problem wth you citizens not being able to get things done/enacted on/changed/varied
ie
constitution/gun control etc

its your wealth driven devils in charge of your lives
FUCK THAT wouldent happen here or smalller countries

we had a millionaire PM John Key
9 years a PM well loved/respected by all,as he did things for the country
and resigned for personal reasons, dont believe many wealth drivens would do the same

ie there pure hunger/lust for power over others

Sounds like a good idea.

Create a tax system that will increase as more you earn and own.
As soon as someone's fortune is above 1 billion he will be taxed so high that he will be below 1 biĺlion next year.

It could solve some problems.
