    Screw billionaire taxes, I want world wide wealth caps. Nobody should have to have more than 10 million dollars in networth. Anything over that should go 100% to taxes until you’re worth less than that again

      Billionaires are bad enough, but now they’ll all want to be trillionaires, so we can expect them to really crank down on the profit gouging.

      Eventually, theses mentally-ill, OCD hoarding, arrogant psychopathic Oligarchs are going to form alliances, and create an army. Then they will create their own sovereign nation where they can create their own laws, allowing anything they want.

      And we have already seen the kinds of things these parasites spend their money on - treason, racism, pedophilia, etc.

      It is inevitable.

      Is this not the goal?.

      Edit: wow wtf

      The California Billionaire Tax Act, colloquially known as the billionaire tax, would levy a one-time 5% tax on any California resident worth more than $1bn

      The only controversy is how weak this tax is

      I’m struggling to even think of a physical object that costs more than that. A superyacht, I guess? A private jet? If you want the biggest, awesomest boat or plane or fucking floating castle or whatever, go in on it with other rich people. Any money above that line is only used to wield soft power, which is provably to the ultimate detriment of the rest of humanity.
