    I see that Cait and I agree on the absolute unnecessity of any billionaires at all. Expropriate them Archived Message

    out of existence altogether; obviously the best approach. 'Expropriate' isn't a euphemism for 'kill', in my lexicon. It just means taking all their excess wealth away, reducing them to the average level of citizen prosperity, wherever they are, and then watching them carefully for any further attempt to amass undue wealth-heaps, which should definitely be met with punitive and restraining responses: community-service sentences, and long-term preventive surveillance. The hyper-rich are an authentic menace to humankind and to the world, and should be held in the same to-be-prevented class as small-pox or plague: dangerous sociopaths, where they're not actual psychopaths.
