A year after Texas Republicans redrew the congressional map to gain as many as five seats, recent polling shows Democrats leading in three targeted South Texas races.
Straight up capture all but 100 million of every single fortune over 1 billion dollars and tell the people who hoarded that money they can be happy with the hundred million or they can see us happy when the steel drops.
Take that money and split it between a fund that handles healthcare and housing for every person in the US, citizen or no.
That would fix a lot of things on its own and should leave a few bucks left over.
But its not ‘real’ cash, its what the owner of it could/can raise against the collateral in today’s market.
So you can’t just go and grab it.
In fact, if you started grabbing the mythical wealth it would be worth less… It may even become worth nothing (or at least less than it cost to seize)… “Oh noes, the feds are taking Elon’s stock… Quick sell it all 11!!1” price crashes, Fed end up owning paper not cash.
It’s not MY problem to solve. But apparently very few Americans actually see their country is on fire. When you see fire you run or you work actively to put the fire out. No one is putting the fire out. And very few of you absolute morons are running!!
Oh, so you ARE that embarrassing to suggest you have all the answers. And just like EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE TYPES OF RESPONSES, you have nothing to contribute of substance.
You tell me.
That’s not how this works. You’ve identified the problem
Surely you’re not dumb enough to post your first comment without ideas. So what are they?
I have an idea.

Good. If the money isn’t actually worth that then it looks like we solve a different problem.
Eat the fucking rich.
Since the intent is to break the disproportionate power of billionaires, the subsequent change in value of the seized assets is irrelevant.

I think just culling the top 10,000 earners is a very achievable goal, and it would have a massive positive impact.
What does step #s 1-3 look like in your plan, o fearless leader? How should we get started?
I’ve been telling the plans for years and no one does them so why would bother now. The sooner the USA drops to third world status the better.
Weird way to say “I have no fucking clue” but ok
You won’t do anything I suggest anyway. So why bother?
We won’t know until you provide the details. So I guess we’ll never know.

Shocking.
Just like you. Shock.
You don’t decide how anything works. STFU
Thanks ;)
