RE: If you've got it, indulge yourself

I think in America it is something like the top 2% own more than the bottom 60% or something like that. If you took all the money away from the top 5 richest people in America you could end homelessness entirely in the USA.

The USA doesn't have one king or Marie Antoinette - the US has thousands of them. There should be a 99% tax on all wealth over 1 Billion. As soon as someone makes $1 billion they get a presidential medal of capitalism a certificate that says "Winner at capitalism" A 10-foot statue is built of the billionaire and placed in the home state that says - Here is ____ Winner of Capitalism "oh praise him/her for being the ultimate business person"

Every dime over $1billion is taxed at 99%.

If he makes $100billion he gets to keep another $1 billion. A second stature this time 20 feet tall and another certificate and some other way to show him what a walking God he is to stroke his ego further.

And there should be a list of 100 charities, infrastructure plans, foreign donations, etc for the billionaire to choose where his tax goes.

So it's not some lefty liberal government taking his money and spending it totally the way we want. So if the billionaire has to pay $100million he will get to choose from a list of where he wants to put his money.

So one list may be charities where he has to put 1/4 or 1/2 of his money - (he can choose which charities - not buy the charities or influence them just choose. Cancer, HIV, Childrens whatever). Then he can choose to put the rest of the money into infrastructure - maybe he wants to put it to space research, security at the border, education, healthcare.

Seems like a reasonable compromise and better than Marie Antoinette's fate. Because that would be my alternate option.
