Is there any more ethical solution to our current circumstances than "murder all billionaires"? - eviltoast

    Adjust our economic system to disallow inherited wealth beyond a lavish amount. I don’t mind a person getting rich for starting and succeeding with a massive company. I do mind the 100B being passed to their children, who will never have done anything to earn it.

    Let the kids have $10 million each or something, the government should take the rest. If they try to “leave” the country the same thing should apply.
