yes, to abolish the system that literally feeds on that inequality to exist.
Anything else (like a cap, but especially one that high, no one needs a billion dollars, more importantly no one earns a billion dollars, not without mass exploitation of others) just allows it to continue.
Even if you’d ever get a wealth cap in (you wouldn’t), they would find ways around it, if not money in the bank it’ll be slaves in the factory. No one should exist in society that has that magnitude more resources and power than 99.999% of humanity. One person having even 100 times more than most others doesn’t even seem justifiable to me, no one works 100 times harder than others, so a million times more? A hundred million times more? It’s obscene.
Take the extra step off that ledge of comfort you’re hanging on to and join us on the anti-capitalist side. It takes work and is not a fun journey of discovery, but it will open your eyes and focus you on to what actually needs to change, rather than the distractions and scratches on the surface those in power allow through once in a while to keep you occupied on anything but destroying the system that gives them all this power.
It might have been from Twitter or somewhere else, but awhile back someone said something akin to after someone passes $999 million, take the rest for the public good and give them a trophy that says “I won capitalism.” I think it’s a lovely idea.
Why so much money???
No single person is capable of earning 999 million.
Why are you people so so keen to keep a class of obscenely rich people above you?
Why can’t you even imagine a world where individuals simply cannot exploit people and resources to the point where they have hundreds of thousands of times more than you and me for doing fuck all???
It genuinely baffles and frustrates me. Why???
The more I read and hear about extreme wealth inequality the more I am convinced we need real drastic measures: wealth cap.
