    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

      Euthanized through taxation? Why not euthanize through example? Meet this level of greed and your life is over. Like, this is the line, cross it and die. And if you cross that line, your children don’t inherit your wealth. It gets sent to the people hurt by the inherit loss of wages.

        I don’t see our ideas as mutually exclusive.

        The capital punishment for corporations would function basically as you described, if they’re convicted for heinous behaviour, their capital/assets are seized, and the proceeds from their auction are given to their victims.

          Agreed, but I demand the erasure of those people from existence. They’re harmful to the existence of our society and population. They need to be removed from society if it is going to continue to function. Otherwise everything fails.
