    Liquidate to who? Are those assets things they can take with them, or are they things like buildings that stay right where they are?

      Anyone who would buy. Unless you’re sentimentally attached to something then I doubt you’d have a difficult time selling it. Billionaires own property as investment, not for use. Just sell it to another billionaire and buy property in a country more favourable to you. As for things like cars, collections, yachts, and other such mobile assets, just stick them on a container ship and unpack at your destination.

        But then there has to be at least one billionaire who is staying right there, and can be taxed.

          Yeah that sounds awesome let’s divide those 200 billions into 333 million people and let’s get a whooping one time only 600 USD extra for the month. Then let’s repeat it again.

          It sure will last foreverrrrrrrrr

            First of all 200 billion is chump change compared to how much the wealthy have. Second, spreading money would do far more to stimulate the economy than wealthy people buying yachts, flying into space, and visiting the Titanic.

            I am sure if you removed your mouth from the wealthy’s cocks for a moment you would realize how fucked up the situation is. But I know you will just suck it foreverrrrrrrrrrr hoping they will gild you into their club.

                The money would be spent on necessary goods and services, allowing more companies to hire more people because their income rises. That’s how capitalism works (when it works) and is why the rich suddenly poop their pants when people stop consuming.

                The entire thing is a house of cards, but if you remove excess weight at the top and put it at the bottom, it’s at least a bit more stable.
