US billionaires have $1.5 trillion in assets. Firstly if distributed across 350m Americans this would be $4.2k.
But in no way would the assets or wealth be liquidated in such a stupid manner.
Taking a percentage of this would provide universal health in the US whilst maintaining the golden egg.
Don't forget that the wealth was and is extracted not only from the US, which leaves everyone with nothing
This is such a great point. People often like to say, “distributing all of their wealth wouldn’t make everyone significantly richer.”
No, that’s not the goal of wealth redistribution. We aren’t trying to make everyone billionaires. We are trying to eliminate the existence of greedy people who have abused others to the point where they are hoarding an obscene amount of wealth and an undue amount of influence that comes with wealth.
Like the only way to get ahead in America is through blatant corruption/nepotism. From Hollywood to Congress to the Chamber of Commerce. You need to be a handpicked part of the elites to do anything.
Ordinary people are being excluded from operating small businesses bc they cannot compete with billionaires. Ordinary people cannot buy homes because the billionaires are profiting off of keeping them inaccessible.
After we told the King of England to kick rocks, America crowned its new aristocracy- the Epstein class!
If we eradicated the gluttons like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, small men with tiny dicks who think they are big boys running the world, it would give ordinary people a chance to compete again. GET RID OF THEM ALL. All pedo billionaires must go
Idk whether you are agreeing with me ironically, but I am going to agree with you unironically
