    That’s a start for sure. All billionaires need to become millionaires again. We need wealth taxes, not just income taxes. Property taxes are a wealth tax, so it’s not like there’s no precedent here. This should probably extend to businesses as well somehow. Just because a company is lead by a CEO and board of directors doesn’t mean they can’t do a shitload of harm.

    Other countries, pay attention. It may be too late for us but you can stop the pandemic of fascism if you recognize excess wealth as the catalyst.
