content: "Long" is a huge understatement. Literally everyone whose net worth places them in the top 1% (or even the top 0.1 %) of the wealth curve ought to be brought before a "Star Chamber" sort of council and made to justify how they got their money. If they didn't earn it themselves, through honest means, it should be forfeited and distributed equally among every American citizen. And then they ought to be executed in the nearest public square. How many trillions of dollars would that release into the economy? How many lives would it save?  The top 0.1% have grown so rich that they essentially live as gods, not human beings. They don't count as "people", so hurting them isn't wrong. Homicide is a crime, because it snuffs out the life of a human being. Deicide--the killing of a god--does not.
