Migrants create jobs and rich people don’t work ?
If you think any billionaire "worked" for the amount of money they have, you're sorely mistaken. It's a byproduct of a flawed economic system, not their "work ethic." Not to say capitalism doesn't have it's benefits, but it's the system in which capitalism is allowed to operate that produces inequalities like that.
Yes. Considering the net loss in population and the its aging, an influx of new people generates new consumption and opportunities for market growth, and sustains socialized systems like pensions and health care, albeit over a long period.
On the other hand, billionaires hoard disgusting fortunes like fucking dragons to the detriment of society at large. They thus deserve to be slayed, like we would dragons.
Did you know some of the original guillotines already exist?
While I would love their wealth to be redistributed, execution is something I would never support for any crime.
Ok maybe we just ask them kindly
Not what I meant. If they break the law, they should be put through the legal system and actually be treated like any criminal instead of getting special privileges. What I meant is that I am against executions in general; even mass murderers shouldn't be executed once they are in custody of the state, they should be in prison for as long as needed to keep them away from society.
You don't need to kill them, you just need to remove the money and BAM, no more billionaires, slayed the dragon.
Perfect; I am 100% with you on this one.
So the existence of billionaires is not a problem as long as they aren't criminals?
It is a problem, and their wealth needs to be redistributed regardless, but the rule of law is important. If a billionaire has done zero crimes, they should still not be allowed to keep the majority of their wealth, but they shouldn't be imprisoned if they hadn't broken the law.
It's pretty cool that the law is definitely not rigged in favor of the rich
