Socioeconomic weeds choking out the rest of us.

Utter ignorance is how we find ourselves with so many morons admiring the thistle in the garden for its pretty purple flower. While economists stand around debating the merits of these weeds by divining dogma to give meaning to weeds natural stubborn deep roots.

If my math is correct and we taxed everything over 100 billion at 100% we'd get over 900 billion in taxes. Nearly a trillion bucks if we limited these assholes to a measly 100 billion.

Billionaires are a political choice as much as homelessness. They are allowed to exist because nobody does anything about it.

A boring distopia is already even a single person having more than a single billion.
