Did I say mandatory? I meant optional! You’re “free” to die in a cardboard box under a freeway as a market capitalist scarecrow warning to the other ants so they keep showing up to make us more!

    We should tax extreme wealth into oblivion, with a 100% congratulations you won capitalism tax at some point so they can’t collect enough wealth to start warping politics beyond their single vote.

    No one should be able to live like modern pharoahs in a finite world with finite resources where others die of lack of resources.

      Or, how about we just tax everyone equally and keep them from making the rules. Make a little money, pay a little money. Make a lot of money, pay a lot of money. As far as I’m concerned, if you can make a billion dollars on a level playing field, more power to you. Now pay up.
