one billionaire down, 3,027 more to go

Sadly, that won't matter unless we take out their kids too. I mean that's how billionaires are made anyway- literally born that way. We need to eradicate whole dynasties.

We can't do that by force - the only way to get rid of billionaires is by taking the means of production under a planned market economy, taxing the rich, publicizing their property with a land value tax, and then redistributing their wealth to the poor and needy. Seriously!

Was thinking we would have to do what the Chinese did to their leaders and ship them off to work study in a place where none of their psychophants are around.

I'm with you 100%.

But first! Let's kill the billionaires and their children.

Or you can just tax them and redistribute their wealth to the poor and anyone else who really need the money. The rich snobs would probably end up being broke themselves.

You make a great point. Let's do that. I'm all for it. That is the way to go. After we eradicate their dynastic lines from existence.
