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.
Agreed! Those are great adaptations!
Let's finetune it to the 20 richest, that'll be about 90% of the total wealth in America. With that in mind the first show will be one of the best, I think :-)
And you're totally right: they cannot have any say in the destination of their "voluntary" donation!
-Healthcare, yes, but also -Education, -Starter money for the best 100 benefit-to-humanity starting companies, -Let say a lucky 1000 people who get 1 million (just to make sure that the viewing figures are nothing less than 100% :-)) -Save 1000 people who can be cured by medicines which were made idiot egoist expensive... -1000 Widows who lost their husband because of some stupid-moron-war get 1000 Dollar every month for the rest of their lifes..
Maybe in the months before the broadcast a few episodes with voting sessions for these destinations? And then still we'll probably have 50% of the total wealth left...
I'm starting to look forward to it! I fart proudly in the general direction of the narrowminded losers who tried to ban me!
