Thanks for sharing your opinion. The first difficulty in real world (even idealized) politics is voicing a consistent independent stance and thinking through the implications. Many cannot even make it that far. The second and greater difficulty is that realizing that a solution that is politically untenable is not a solution, it's a campaign slogan. I don't know how we get people to move past this difficulty.

I assume you are suggesting that a tax on the rich is not politically viable. When the structural violence that permeates our society finally manifests in the only violence the lower class can execute - this non-viability might change. It will be a harrowing time- and I hope we avoid this. The billionaires will cease to exist one way or another.

  If your solution to a societal problem is to kill someone because they have something you want, you really dont have a solution.
