Bill Gates isn't sure Elizabeth Warren 'has an open mind'

  The rich don't lose, they leave. Worth keeping in mind. You can't actually change inequality (see: France, South America) you can only change where billionaires live.

    The French Revolution and Russian Revolution might like to have a word with you on that. You can only push inequality so far for so long before the rich lose more than just their money.

      That isn't going to happen now, there is way more wealth to go around.

      The vast majority of the people killed there were not rich. Killing millions of people who have a different way of thinking about things than you is not the answer. All it does is kill people and break things. It doesn't fix anything.

      > The French Revolution and Russian Revolution might like to have a word with you on that. Assassinating those you don't like isn't a solution to any problem, specially inequality. In fact, neither France nor Russia became equality Haven's after they assassinated their elites.

    So what's the solution? Let the ultra rich donate to enough politicians and lobby hard enough that they actually become real aristocrats, instead of aristocrats-in-all-but-name?
