    Wealth cap is needed that takes into account every bit of wealth they have, even indirect

      Well most people don’t see the problem of having billionaires owning everything all over the place. So if we can have (even more) substantial evidence that they’re harmful, it’s always good to take.

    If you could somehow get money out of politics this would be slightly less of a problem. But that obviously can’t happen… until money is taken out of politics.

      If I had wheels I’d be a wagon. There are certainly ways to limit the influence of money in politics, but I don’t see how it could possibly be removed. Rich people will always find ways to make politicians care about what they want.

      I guess if there were no more rich people you’d effectively take money out of politics, but that’s a very tall order.

    It brings me some semblance of joy to see that these people’s immense wealth and power seem to come at a direct cost of peace, happiness and contentment. They condemn each other to this fate and I’m all for it.
