    Here’s an idea. Don’t change any taxes, billionaires don’t like that. Instead, let them amass wealth as usual. But once a year we pick the richest 5 people, execute them and distribute their entire wealth.

      Maybe not the 5 richest, but a random sampling from the top 50 (we can work out the exact mechanics). Keeps it spicier, and the ultra-wealthy love feeling like they’re gambling.

        Kinda why I thought top 5 - since it would mean people would need to compete to earn less than others

        Why stop there? Why not make it a full on Hunger Games style thing where they have to fight through labyrinths and kill each other

      We need a democratic part, people vote on which one of the 5 is the lucky winner.

      And then air it on live TV: “Who want’s to kill a billionaire?”

        They will just hide their riches and make it look like some shmuck that has less is richer.

      What about picking random billionaires and distributing their wealth without execution
