Shopify CEO draws criticism for apparent support of giving wealthy more voting power. Just more ridiculous by the day.

        This is my vote. I don’t know why the tax rate stops at 50%. Making your second million is easier than your first million, you should take home less of it. IMHO it should approach 100% as you make more and more. And the more money that you have the less valuable it is to you so we can put it to better uses for the society.

      Nah, addicts shouldn’t be put in jail. Billionaires are just addicted to money hoarding and should go to mandatory rehab.

        At a cost of 15% of their net worth per day, 1 week minimum stay. At day 7 they’d still have $320M left if they started with exactly $1B. Probation is your net worth must not climb more than 10% higher than it was when you were released or else another 7 days. If you can maintain <$100M for 10 years your probation is lifted, but your record stays. Future convictions increase the minimum rehab stay by 7 days each.

        Rehab is them having to watch shows all day about all the poor people getting their money and what they’re doing with it. They can even sit in a comfy chair and be served nice food while they do it.
