Watering the tree of liberty if I recall correctly.

To water the tree of liberty with?

You’re the one not living in reality, Wikipedia even has an article related to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_youngest_killers

There are only two entries on that entire list of a child killing an adult without using a gun, both in China. One was the strangulation of a grandmother who was beating him, and the other a stabbing of a mother who was also beating him.

On the other hand, there are 11 entries of a child using a gun to kill an adult.

A gun didn’t walk into that room, but if a gun had not been in that house, it’s almost certain that father would still be alive. Another case of someone buying a gun for self protection, only to have it be the reason they died.

One whack with a ball peen from an 11 year old child?

Only if they know exactly where to aim (specific parts of the head) and get a bit lucky too. If the kid whacks him in the chest with it, he isn’t likely going to die.

People survive lots of things, as a whole guns are more effective than other means and you know it.

It’s far more difficult to kill with a knife or hammer.

That’s literally why guns exist, to make killing easier.

That’s like 12 million per person in Greenland.

They should just take the money, then buy up a decent amount of mercenaries and declare independence again.

A repeat of Germany annexing other countries a century ago.

You can absolutely use your external IP rather than a domain, your ISP likely keeps your IP the same for long stretches of time. Mine only ever really changes during long power outages.

You can get around that the IP issue by broadcasting your ip from your local machine to a known service, there are some free ones but they aren’t the most stable things in the world if it’s critical. Google Dynamic DNS

Always follow the money.

Always.

I am in fact educated in economics, and smarter people than you disagree on taxing billionaires like that.

That’s what you aren’t getting.

Because the money they have is absolutely tiny compared to other groups of people.

Trillions sounds like a lot, until you start talking about real estate or corporate spending.

They’re just easier to pick on/scapegoat, which is why they’re being targeted.

No

So elon is completely untouched because none of his companies are vital and he has no “income” because it’s all capital appreciation?

Jeff bezos also untouched…

This is the kind of stupid knee jerk thinking that makes all of this discussion irrelevant.

You don’t even know how to reach the goal you want, you just feel like it should be something.

Plenty of non-billionaires play that game.

And even if you removed billionaires, corporations would continue exist and keep spending on politicians anyways.

Getting rid of billionaires doesn’t fix any of that.

Changing the rules around finances in politics does.

The real question is how.

Does any business that becomes successful just immediately turn itself over to the government to be sold off to small investors?

Because the top billionaires today all have almost all their value in single companies that they either started directly or built up themselves.

There are multiple situations that apply, you can look up studies on smaller lottery winners.

Also, inheritance spending.

The median inheritance is much larger than the $20k, but that study shows about half the inheritance money is spent or lost almost immediately.

I’m not saying it wouldn’t benefit anyone, it definitely would, but getting rid of billionaires will not fix any long standing issues with society because they aren’t the primary cause of those issues.

Most people who desperately need $20k would not handle it effectively if given a lump sum. That’s been proven repeatedly.

It would do more good giving it to a social program.
