    QOTD: "I think, every year, the richest person in the world should be sacrificed and their wealth distributed to the poorest among us. The rest of the year would be billionaires scrambling to distribute their wealth in an attempt to ensure they aren't the one to pushed out into the ocean next year. Is that radical enough for you?" --@genxkiwi66

    @CdnCurmudgeon
    Or they could work at regular wage at fast food counter alternate weeks and unblocking toilets the other weeks.
    Live in a dorm and only have one leisure outfit and one work outfit.

    Absolutely all assets removed. Children to good foster care. If partner non-working, then they are living at a refuge till they get a job.

    Your idea and the number of rich people it should apply to monthly or annually should be seriously debated.

    Which millionaire, or more, is achieved honestly?

          The gods would surely smile on us for offering them our fattest stock.
          I mean, that's the way it works, isn't it?

            It would still take about 70yrs to get rid of them all that way.

              @CdnCurmudgeon Every time I see something like this, I remember that Taylor Swift is a billionaire. Who gets to decide who is evil and who is not? We need a better metric, like how well compensated are their employees. Swift is generous. Bezos is a monster.

                @CdnCurmudgeon @blogdiva Potlatch: the wealthiest person intentionally distributes all they own to the community and lives off of handouts and gratitude. Not a new thing. No loss of life.

                  @CdnCurmudgeon My thought was to assign anyone exceeding a consensus derived wealth sum would be given some long languishing public works project. Basically following the 'idle hands' principle. "idle wealth".

                    This will never happen because all the major media outlets are owned by billionaires. All your neighbors and people around you, when you suggest this plan, will knowingly tell you that this is socialism, or communism. People who have never taken a political science class, but are well educated at the school of Fox News, Facebook, Twitter, Washington Post ... etc.

                      @CdnCurmudgeon I think taking all their money and distribute it to the poorest (in a way they would get among the poorest) is probably a good enough punishment. They would also be motivated to increase the “poorest” level in case they would end up there.

                          @CdnCurmudgeon Okay, so in this scenario, we off Musk, and the poorest billion people get two shares each of Tesla, the cesspool formerly known as Twitter, and SpaceX. What are they supposed to do with them?

                                @CdnCurmudgeon HAH! This is brilliant! Along those lines, I think there should be a reality TV show (like "Survivor") except the winner gets voted off first with the largest amount of money, and the prizes decrease down to zero for the last person.

                                How to win? Be the nicest, most honest and helpful person! Peeps would fall over themselves trying to be good humans.

                                  And until said public works project is certified satisfactorily completed by 86.2% of the affected citizens, said Gazillionaire will be required to pay the same percentage of income tax as their lowest-paid employee pays, with no exceptions, loopholes, or sleights of hand.

                                        @CdnCurmudgeon @blogdiva Potlatch: the wealthiest person intentionally distributes all they own to the community and lives off of handouts and gratitude. Not a new thing. No loss of life.

                                        "From 1885 to 1951, the Government of Canada criminalized potlatches. However, the practice persisted underground despite the risk of government reprisals including mandatory jail sentences of at least two months"

                                          @CdnCurmudgeon Every time I see something like this, I remember that Taylor Swift is a billionaire. Who gets to decide who is evil and who is not? We need a better metric, like how well compensated are their employees. Swift is generous. Bezos is a monster.
