Why don't the humans from the left 99% simple eat the humans from the right 1%?

A lot of the wealth generation can be productive. You start a company to cure cancer or something. It succeeds and the company is worth loads on paper although you don't buy any yachts or anything. Should you be eaten?

I'm with it, but "let them eat musk" just sounds icky.

Hot take: Maybe not literally eating, but anything > $1B in whatever form (cash, stocks, equity, etc) should be redistributed fairly. At the lowest level, janitors at Tesla are just as important as engineers - if the toilets are nasty and nobody takes care of them then nobody will want to work there. So on top of paying them $15/hour, they should also get some stock.

When you get to $100 million you get a letter from the president congratulating you for winning capitalism and everything after that gets taxed at 100%.
