    I don’t understand what you are saying. For one thing, I’m not fretting about taxing the rich.

      i guess what i’m saying is that yes, we do need a drawdown of wealth. we then need to find ways to redistribute it to those of us who are not hoarding dynastic fortunes.

      billionaires should not exist. there is no reason for us to allow them to sit on such piles. nothing good comes of concentrating all the worlds resources into a small owning class.

        Well, I agree that the wealth must be freed up somehow. I do not know how, but I also don’t want to set a precedent that could screw us all over.

        Some kind of one time payment based on how much wealth you have lying around, due to an agreed upon need caused by extreme circumstances, like the fact that we are in so much debt as a nation, might make sense.

        Whatever method is chosen, it needs to make sure it doesn’t make future normal saving and investing impossible.
