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.

There is a conscious choice required to become a billionaire which amounts to exploring workers in order to achieve excess gains. And there’s a choice made when deciding to keep that wealth to yourself. Both choices here are being judged not simply the amount that one has gained.
