      Why stop at their wealth?

      As someone pointed out to me, round them all up. Throw in them into an island penal colony and let them all go Lord of the Flies on each other.

      My suggestion for improvement, was every once awhile, lob some artillery shells at the island. Can’t let those billionaires get comfortable.

        I think the worst punishment for the ruling class is to make them part of the working class.

        I guarantee you, most of them would rather kill themselves or others than live like us.

          I agree, I was pretty pro-guillotine till that was pointed out to me. Redistribute their wealth and tell them where it’s all going too.

          “Congratulations Jeff Bezos, you donated $1.3 billion to various labor organizations.” “Congratulations Richard Branson, you donated $1.21 billion to climate change initiatives.” “Congratulations Warren Buffet, you donated $1.14 billion to support low income people.”

          Knowing where their money is going to support society in general will fucking kill them. Each of these shit bags all think that they are needed for civilization. Let’s watch them put that delusion to the test on an island penal colony that gets bombarded with artillery shells every once and awhile.
