There should be a military tax on wealth so we can buy all the nukes and aircraft carriers that protect all Their billions that We pay to defend.

Bu-but you don't understand! If they are billionaires, that means they *deserve* everything they have! Pay no attention to the fact most of them likely just *inherited* everything they have....
idiotsonfire
Maybe they should stop buying diamond encrusted pencils for $19,200.

Bring on the trebuchet, fling that shit far away. BOOST

Or just buy one doll. They don't need two dolls. Beef expensive? Eat offal. Poor? Consider not being born poor.

Completely wrong. They need to STOP saving. It's all the hoarding that has caused the stagnation of the economy. When all people have a moderate amount of money the circulation of cash and goods grows and the economy flourishes. When a few dragons sit on mountains of gold... we get today.

Avocado toast is extremely cheap for breakfast how did that ever get related to wealth
aeroldoth
Acocado toast sounds fancy and liberal, so red blooded propagandists use it as an example of how rich and elitist the left is. Cons hate everything different, so since it's not bacon and eggs, it must be bad.

Buying it at a bougie brunch spot costs over $20. Making it at home costs maybe $2.

People really don't have an intuitive understanding about the scale of wealth we're talking about with billionaires. Sure, an 80% tax rate would be devastating for your average American worker even making 6 figures. But for a multi billionaire, 80% tax still leaves them with 100,000x more money than that 6 figure worker has. An amount that wouldnt have any meaningful impact on their livelihood. Billionaires know this though, so they leverage that misunderstanding to manipulate people.

At least to me...it seems like abusive behavior to tell complete strangers what they think or understand. Maybe, basic human respect here, let people have their own opinions and thoughts...as well as express them.
Otherwise, at best you are infantilizing people or treating them like pets.
StellarJay77
It's a studied and proven phenomenon that people cannot intuitively understand massively large numbers.

Nope, that's the objectivist propaganda talking.
Most people are woefully misinformed about how things like the scale at which billionaires and corporations are underpaying taxes, and need to be educated.
Subsound
Whats objectivist propaganda?
The last thing I read touting objectivism from an objectivist (Ayn Rand) was "I am right, everyone else who doesnt agree with me are uneducated morons"

Fuckers should be worried about that device made famous by the French Revolution....

We need to start using the means we have, not just talk about it.

Fun fact: even though the king's family all died(him his wife and his son), most aristocrats left the country, most deaths occurred between peasants, and the post revolution revolution is where most people got guillotined for not being revolutionary enough

There is a device that is more portable and is common in north America that would be more effective

Yes…the Bowie knife if that’s correct?

I think we should do an American version. Rather than a guillotine, perhaps strapping them to the front of a civil war cannon and firing it? We can add some fireworks and stuff too to make it more 4th of July themed

Trebuchet time
Butterupmybuttcheeks
Potential environmental impact, may I suggest instead of cannons, the trebuchet? Bets can be taken on distance, with the funds going to help rebuild where they have poisoned.

Perhaps if we can find a volcano god who isn't very picky about sacrifices, we can avoid the pollution too?

"Beautiful Gaia! We return this one to your embrace through Vulcan's cleansing fire! Please forgive us for the harm we caused you! We are using the vast hoard of wealth we took from this one to fix the damage!"

I want to meet the picky volcano God, if for no other reason to ask some questions.
