I propose we call it the Luigi Movement, after Luigi Mario the less famous brother of Mario Mario.
Gee, if only we’d tried that before.
Remember the “1%” protests against the billionaire class?
It didn’t matter, because every time people contribute to a 401k or go shopping at a chain box store, they add power to the 1%. People say they want to fight the ultra-rich, but they don’t really want to fight. Nobody wants to sacrifice their comfort or security. We know from history how this ends…
“Needs,” hells yeah.
“Will have,” you know better. American workers love the taste of billionaire boot.
The percentage of sociopaths involved with defining a society should never be greater than zero.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
The biggest hurdle to starting any sort of revolution or meaningful societal change in the US is finding leadership willing to risk having a target on their backs to rally the masses to action. Anyone willing to be the first to step up will be harassed, pursued, abused, and potentially killed.
There are plenty of leaders to follow, plenty of groups to join, plenty of events to attend.

Billionaires need to be liquidated.

Something with a sharp downward movement. On an unrelated note. I like French furniture.
We need a WAR on greed.
No… really?
I wish it hadn’t come to that … it ought to be more straightforward to roll back the clock, as MAGAts want to do. Roll back all those tax cuts for the wealthy. Roll back Supreme Court decisions letting them avoid taxes. Roll back letting corporate money dominate politics. Roll back union busting.
Income taxes used to be very progressive, in that wealthy people paid a much higher percentage. However now that ladder stops, the percentage stops rising, and ever more wealth and money accumulation can be defined as “not income”, so the wealthy pay the least in taxes (by percentage).
Rolling back these changes should help narrow the huge gap of income inequality, reduce corporate ownership of our government, and give ordinary people more of a voice
America needs to curb stomp billionaires.
There is no need to curb billionaire‘s power if you simply curb billionaires.

Fun fact: guillotine is a ohko but only 30% accuracy
One of those moves that only hits if your opponent uses it.
