I would LOVE to read the original comment.
Oh I am happy to tell you:
My idea was to organize a big event each year in which the richest man of America can give 50% of all his money away (to charity /the poor) or get shot. Every year, for instance on Liberation day. So the richest of the rich start worrying that they are too rich instead of be proud of it. That's a great change. Then they will push each other forward so that they don't have to go to the scaffold themselves... I imagine a big television show with lots of cams, dancing ladies and a life band etc... big fun.
But of course the fullblooded Capitalist or the Rich at the expense of others cannot handle such an idea and asks for a ban. Sorry buddy, but the age where I come from was asking to ban someone else is getting a permaban yourself. GTFO
I mean I don't hate it but it needs some workshopping. Why just the one richest person? Why not the 20 richest? Also, forced charity donation is a bit problematic since the wealthy all have their own sham charities. Use the money to fund free healthcare instead, im sure it would be well more than enough.
