Okay, let’s say we plan on murdering everyone who makes 1 billion or more. Nah, let’s say 10 million or more in dollars. I say 10 million because I went to school and have a good paying job but in my life time I could never make that kind of money. So let’s say 10 million, bam, you’re dead. Like, now what? They’re all dead. So where’s the money? Let’s say each billion people get 1 trillion dollars each. So like 1000 bucks each basically. Ok now what? If you’re hungry you gotta spend some. If you’re in the US that won’t hold you for more than a month. If you’re in the Philippines you’ll be king for a few months. Ok so then what??? We go back feeding money to another set of assholes? And when they get to the 10 million mark we dispatch them softly with a 2x4 against a jagged granite rock?
That seems like nothing in the US but it would be like pouring rocket fuel into the economy of a developing country. And that’s the point. It’s also about the knock on effects that aggregation of wealth causes, like political corruption. And the runaway inflation caused by the race to aggregate wealth.
Nobody is under the illusion that eliminating these fortunes would make them rich.

Lol what? Your ridiculous proposal is obviously not the only option.
It’s 53 dollars per person per month.
