Rich people deserve the death penalty

Seems like we have some Robespierre energy in this thread. That may not end well - for anyone.

What does being successful have to do with happiness? Is $300 billion the line in the sand for you? What outcome are you expecting from killing the most successful of us?

I've been thinking about this for some time, but I think ultimately the outcome would be the death penalty for the perpetrator of it, depending on the state... or life in prison, hopefully without parole.

That's exactly what far left countries have done. Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, and others all did exactly what you leftists here dream about doing.

I have a great respect for Lenin and Mao.

Elon should be deported. All his wealth should be confiscated and given to the workers who got ousted from the DOGE cuts.

It's actually very close. About 18% of people living in the U.S. are considered millionaires. That does include assets, so just the ownership of a home can make one a millionaire, combined with whatever else they're worth. Or all by itself, here in SoCal...

That's the thing, if we're going to say that, it requires context

Your net worth tied up in home equity only gets you so much materially

A lot of that is just inflation.

There's nothing wrong with sitting on a pile of home equity. It's good that it's hard to get at, it prevents you from blowing it on something stupid.

Who said it was bad? I'm saying when someone says "20 percent of people in the US are millionaires" that it requires some kind of context

Net worth and not income has always been the measure of wealth. And the point I was making is that being a millionaire doesn't make you rich it makes you middle, maybe upper middle, class.

It doesn't matter whether the million is in equity or cash. They are both equally rich. There is no context.

They make their money off exploiting others for their greed. They have their nice summer and winter homes meanwhile slashing benefits. Their people work 50-60 hours a week and they enjoy their golf. They deserve to be burnt at the stake. **** these people
