anyone with over let's say, 100 million dollars of private wealth, should taxed at 100% (with a strong enforcement mechanism) and that money should go directly into public equity. What should the public equity be spent on? my vote is a UBI

Sure but tax evasion is extremely easy when your rich since they just borrow all of their money and even if you get rid of things billionares use they would just retire since no body would work for free.
If anyone deserves to die, billionaires deserve to die more than anyone who has ever lived. Regardless, I personally don't think anyone deserves to die. What I would prefer is that billionaires be put on trial for their crimes and sentenced to rehabilitation, and afterward live as equals with other humans. China made the last heir to the old empire a farmer who lived a happy life. That's the happiest solution I can think of for everyone.
I think most of them deserve to live, but not as billionaires. Hundredaires, maybe.
Not die, but sure they need some cash redistribution, pronto. Although I can't deny that a non-dismissable amount of them are too gone into their own mentality
Yes.
Why do americans hate on billionaires but then fight for a system that creates them?
No
