Why do we want the rest to fall in line? Why not just eat them all, and prevent the next billionaire from ever existing in the first place?
"fall in line" here means redistribute their unearned wealth
it means avoiding being eaten. The People are easily placated. That's how they become billionaires to begin with, no one stops them because shiny thing! The other billionaires would each donate like 10% of their wealth to foundations they already control and people will think that's so fucking awesome of them.
then we'll eat a second
Because billionaires are inevitable thanks to our economic system and the indomitable human spirit.
If we eat them all, they will just keep spawning
Only way to do that is through taxes and a world wide wealth cap.
Anyone worth a million dollars has all their next income 100% go to taxes until their worth goes below
Nobody should be able to just gather unlimited resources
