Ok hear me out. Lots of people complaining about billionaires.

I get it. They have a lot of money. They don't always give it away unless it's to avoid taxes.

Just taking money from billionaires feels wrong

What if instead we took a random drawing and just sacrificed one per year?

So this way they would be incentivised to donate money. But if they wanted to risk it they could try.

Maybe our corn crops would grow better too.

Everybody will get automatically $1000/year. For some that amount might be small but for others it might be life changing. Now everybody expects to get those 1000 bucks every year so everybody works less expecting to get that amount of money. Everybody works less and value of stuff goes up because it is harder to find workers.

Remember what happened with all the mcdonalds when the government gave everybody free $1500?

Also, as Kapow and I am pro life

Nonono. It's not even that good. You would have to kill all the billionaires at once. One billionaire won't do anything.

No, still pro life

The cost of things goes up and up. The value stays the same.

Excuse me. I have misused the 2 words
