I'm a centrist. I think we should have a maximum wealth cap set at 1000x the median household income. I am willing to do this via tax policy instead of the guillotine.

There really should be a wealth cap. If you have more then 1000x the median income to your personal net worth then you don’t need it. Sorry not sorry.

They would likely find loops holes like they already do though….. le sigh…

Gonna build banks and, since corpos are people, they'll have a net worth. When they reach the cap build another.

None the less, we need to do something about wealth hoarding if we want to have even a semblance of a democracy.

It might be too late for that. I hope not and if it is not, I don’t think we have long to turn it around before there is no way out.

there's two big problems, either you find loopholes, or you just leave the country.
