    1. The people decide. Through there elective representatives.

    2. This whole post is about an awareness that the “person” generating the wealth is actually hundreds of thousands of people generating the wealth.

    Bill Gates didn’t generate 80 billion dollars. He just positioned himself in manner to that allowed him to hoard 80 billion dollars in wealth generated by countless software engineers and other workers.

    1. I don’t understand being squeamish about ANYONE trying to redistribute wealth. Right now there’s like 3 people who have as much wealth as the bottom HALF of Americans (~150,000,000 people). The situation is beyond ridiculous.

        I think getting money completely out of politics would have to come with any democratic solution

            It doesn’t have to be. We can have fair elections where every candidate gets the same exposure via a public fund specifically for elections. Outlaw lobbying and pacs and have every candidate just debate/speak on stream
