Here’s an idea. Don't change any taxes, billionaires don’t like that. Instead, let them amass wealth as usual. But once a year we pick the richest 5 people, execute them and distribute their entire wealth.
Maybe not the 5 richest, but a random sampling from the top 50 (we can work out the exact mechanics). Keeps it spicier, and the ultra-wealthy love feeling like they're gambling.
Kinda why I thought top 5 - since it would mean people would need to compete to earn less than others
Better yet, give away more than others.
Why stop there? Why not make it a full on Hunger Games style thing where they have to fight through labyrinths and kill each other
Vietnam is showing the rest of the world up so far.
We need a democratic part, people vote on which one of the 5 is the lucky winner.
And then air it on live TV: "Who want's to kill a billionaire?"
They will just hide their riches and make it look like some shmuck that has less is richer.
Right, so the first program will be "Finding the real billionaire".
Some of them already do, in charities.
What about picking random billionaires and distributing their wealth without execution
Awwww but I already made this guillotine
When people bring up execution, it's because these people would not give up their wealth even under the threat of death.
Jail exists
Okay?
That would work wonders for sure
How about the richest 20 people?
