Thanks for supporting my point that only bloodthirsty idiots want that.
Ah, maybe you don't know this, but when someone says "but in all seriousness", that's a cue for you to realize the first part was a joke.
So let's try this again from a different angle: tax reform is an ineffectual way to deal with billionaires and does not work. The rich always influence politics and will always change the rules for taxation for their benefit. And if one country does manage to have a unified front and stop billionaires, they will simply move to a country that will take them, or who's politicians can be bribed. We have had tax reform to stop monopolies and the ultra wealthy and that inevitably becomes undone.
Your strategy is naive, and your attitude towards any other option is juvenile.
You joke about killing children, this isn't a miscommunication in the least.
Children are dying by the thousands every day because of these people and you're fine with it. You'd even let the system perpetuate to avoid feeling uncomfortable.
Obviously if the rich people went up against the wall we wouldn't have to kill their children, if we did the thing I suggested and also change how money works legally.
Too bad you're too high up on your horse to see the forest for the trees.
Oh, you're right, because dying children is so commonplace there is no moral issue with killing them. /s
Ok bootlicker, sorry your sensibilities were made upsetti spaghetti so hard you turned into an ostrich.
