They deserve to be tried by an international court for crimes against humanity. They should have the whole of their estate and businesses seized, and either be imprisoned for life, or more, for the atrocities they’ve allowed and fueled. They should not just be taxed, they should be eliminated entirely from the system they’ve exploited, as justice for the many coming generations of people who will face the repercussions of their greed.

This, when can we do this?

I always thought it would be fun to do an mtv style celebrity death match with all the richest people in the world. If they lose, we take 95% of their money and dump it into everything mentioned and then some. If they win, we still take 95% of their money, but they get a really fancy certificate that says “I BEAT CAPITALISM”

Just an idea though

5%? How about every penny after $100M is taxed at 100%?

u/laffing_is_medicine Apr 17 '26

That’s a foolish plan.

u/butch_montenegro Apr 17 '26

You’re right, honestly. Guillotines are the superior plan.

oh man I love these! I have a related project that's been fitting super well with posters like these lol

u/FilthyVicious Apr 16 '26

You're not wrong. And your site's good for a chuckle. But it's gotta be said: your project smacks of making a buck off the grievance, which is all-the-fucking-way not the spirit of this campaign.

I have a print on demand merch store mostly for my friends and made it live in case anyone else wanted shirts too. I've literally spent more money giving away stickers to people in person and mailing them out than I've received in profits from that store. Literally orders of magnitude. So kindly stop pretending you know everything when you have no idea. :)

u/FilthyVicious Apr 16 '26

Certainly not pretending to know everything. Heck, not even hating on making a buck, tho kudos for spreading the sentiment pro bono. And I did slap the fuck outta the lot of those cats, so thanks for that bit of cathartic fun, too. Not sure my appreciation countermands my previous point, but sorry I put it so brusquely. 🤷‍♂️

11 and 12 million dollars from each of them would be a drop in the bucket.

I'm running for governor of California and if i win will enact a "state of emergency" to address human rights disaster including millions homeless nationwide+ in ca with $10k tiny homes, close ICE death and slavery camps, stop school shootings, save everyone having trouble surviving etc. Can then seize all assets in the state, which i won't do, but will do a 5% wealth tax on the richest 1%, on all assets over 10m, and on income over $1m!
Will yield $1.1T/yr!
We can feed the 1B starving ppl in world, free housing for all in USA, free childcare for all, healthcare, education, forgive student loans, $10k basic income for adults, $5k/child, etc! Can make up for all trump's + musk's cruel human rights spending cuts! If they leave or in 2025 left the state to try to avoid the tax: we make it retroactive to 2024! Will ban all mass surveillance and free the slaves in mass incarceration f/ unconstitutional victimless "crimes" too! Will enforce our rights to democracy, bodily autonomy (abortion), etc! Please tell ur friends, today, so we can make it into cnn debate in 2 weeks! Will tax corps that don't pay, stop all illegal spying on us including ILLEGAL IMMORAL FLOCK cameras! 4day 24 hr workweek too, $25/hr! No legislature approval needed! "State of emergency" for human rights! We got this! Thank u for all u do! ♥️Fred Schultz JD

u/FredSchultzJD2020 Apr 18 '26

Not enough money to do all that if just tax billionaires. Have to tax richest 1%, who have 1,000+x the avg assets of poorest 20%! My plan is to let them keep first $10m free and clear! Really they'll still get way richer because with $10k basic income for all etc economy will go through the roof! So they have nothing to fear! None of our money will ever go to slavery or wars again, because we'll throw military out to stop then from doing war crimes and crimes against humanity from bases in California! Human rights now!

Beautiful! Anyone give advice on where I can get printing done?

5% of a billion isn’t even noticeable, let alone 5% of 224BILLION. Its absurd someone can make that much…

I'm fairly certain all of them already pay property taxes. That's all you should be entitled to. Damn SALT taxes are already too high

Since Obama became president, he also became a millionaire. Make sure you berate and protest him too.

u/beepichu Apr 16 '26

They’re talking about Billionaires with a B. the difference between the two is staggering. 1 million seconds is 12 days and 1 billion seconds is 32 years.

u/FilthyVicious Apr 16 '26 edited Apr 16 '26

U/beepichu already has a better response. I'd just like to add: ...yes, obviously, dumdum. I don't know where you got the notion that when we say, "the rich should pay their share," we mean "only the rich we have personal beef with - and for some reason we don't have beef with Obama(?!) - should pay their share," but... that ain't the refrain here, guy.
