    I don’t think you understand how numbers work…

    There’s less than 1,000 billionaires, there’s like 330,000,000 Americans

    That’s 1 billionaire against 330,000 Americans…

    Do you have any idea how many guns 330,000 random Americans have?

      Right so then there will be some murder, as I said. You can’t just ask them politely for their money. Even if you show up and demand it with guns, they will have guns of their own, and will shoot back.

        I’m about to give up on you understanding this…

        1. We seize their money.

        2. If they resist with violence, and we have to respond with violence.

        3. That’s more criminal charges against them

        You’re still operating under the premise that the billionaires are always right.

        If we’re seizing our stolen wealth back from them, there’s no violence unless they start it. If they fight hard enough they die…

        That’s not murder, it’s just not.

        Stop fucking acting like the clock starts with us taking the money back, they’re hoarding stolen wealth, if they raise the stakes to violence to keep it, that’s the same as a bank robber shooting at cops.

        They’re committing more crimes to keep their stolen wealth

        What don’t you understand?

          What are you not understanding about seizing the money being the violent part? People don’t exactly take kindly to their money being seized, and at present there is 0 legal mechanism to seize all billionaire’s wealth.

          Trying to add that legal mechanism into the system is what you will see extreme resistance to including state sponsored violence.

          It’s like you are hand waiving the most difficult part
