Did I say mandatory? I meant optional! You’re “free” to die in a cardboard box under a freeway as a market capitalist scarecrow warning to the other ants so they keep showing up to make us more!

Haha ty. But in seriousness, I do think there is a level of wealth that one can attain that becomes political.

Like civil servants, attorneys, judges, healthcare workers, etc, are held to different standards and subject to different rules (same laws ofc), because of the power they may wield over others.

Oligarchs individually can affect the lives of millions of people. That’s the kind of power we put checks on.
