    I’m sorry, but this point of view is so brain-dead to me. What do you think happens when a billionaire dies? The money magically disappears? It’s redistributed to the masses? No, it’s inherited by relatives. Killing billionaires only creates different billionaires. How about we use our brains and come up with actual solutions rather than parroting brain-dead bullshit?

      You’re taking the argument at it’s most basic level, assuming that we would kill the billionaires and then sit around twiddling our thumbs. I don’t think it’s much of a leap to assume we’d change how the system works as well lol.

        Ok? Then maybe do that without the murder part??? If you have actual ideas of how to change the system, then do it?

            But you still haven’t refuted my main point. If killing them just creates new billionaires, what does that actually achieve?
