stability of the currency

Backed by debt, which is theft…

Would I support a wealth tax that would result in removing this power from Musk, or any other person with inordinate personal wealth, while we operate in a financial system that is based on fiat money? Yes.

The wealth he obtained through [subsidized projects with amerikkka’s taxes](https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/elon-musk-trillionaire-spacex-government-support-1802598)… Taxing him, through his lobby, is only going to making him richerer…

parallel with other activities that actively build horizontal systems, I consider it beneficial to remove that power from the few individuals that hold it.

… … How do you think those few individuals hold lobby power?

Fine, we have established your opposition to a wealth tax in order to remove the power Musk holds via his wealth.

How would you recommend dealing with the specific threat that Musk having this financial power represents?

Total assets, bonds, loans, stock and subsidies forfeiture, and reminting coins by Congress, and only Congress.

I am still unsure how amerikkka will ever pay the debts owed to the Federal Reserve. Maybe make usury illegal again?
