Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Its certainly simpler, though hardly a solution. There's always more billionaires unless you change the system that created them.
Tax.
Its not complicated. It might take a few goes to get it just right but what we have now is pathetic.
I agree, but also..There are famously ways to avoid taxes. You need a backup plan when taxation doesn't work. And remember, once someone becomes trully wealthy, they're above the law.
I don't think those ways mattered as much back when the top marginal rate was approaching 90%.
Tax them, give them a choice, and if they choose…poorly, then hang them.
I bet you if ceos start erm, falling down due to high speed objects that may affect brain functions , things get changed fast
We could just keep hanging them.
Pretty sure that you'd have less and less once you start hanging them, but of course, I am not an expert (yet).
I mean would you want to become a billionaire if you knew you'd end up hanging?
I'm definitely for a change of the system too, but in the meantime there always more rope too.
Which solved for example all problems in all countries who ever went into a killing frenzy, see the monument to equality that is France.
You belong into (at least) therapy.
