Ever notice how these wealth-flattening schemes always start with taxing 'the billionaires'? That's just the beginning. Once you normalize confiscating extreme wealth, the definition of 'excessive' keeps shifting downward. Today it's billionaires, tomorrow it's hundred-millionaires, then millionaires, then anyone with savings. The goalpost never stops moving. Eventually the bar drops so low that ambition itself gets penalized. Why build, create, or innovate if the system systematically erases the reward? When everyone ends up with the same grey outcome regardless of effort, motivation dies. And that's the trap—a society where nobody bothers trying anymore because there's nothing to strive for. The system collapses not with a bang, but with collective apathy.

This is like boiling a frog in warm water—first cutting down the rich, then the middle class, and finally everyone ends up equally poor.

I'm tired of this logic... Basically, it's just fear of getting chopped up by the little guys.

This logic sounds familiar, a classic teaching example of the slippery slope fallacy...

Basically, it's like boiling a frog in warm water. Today, the big whales get exploited, and tomorrow, it'll be our turn.

Same old story: first cut the rich, then the middle class, and finally not even your savings will be spared.

This is like boiling a frog in warm water—cutting down the rich people first faces no opposition, but soon it'll be our turn.
