    We should be starting at the billionaires and working our way down, but I also don’t care when consumerists and neo-liberals get theirs early.

    You have more than enough and should not receive even more while others have less, just like the billionaires you’re criticizing.

    This is the important part that you’re conveniently ignoring. Why should the person with a $400,000 house in suburbia be exempt from the redistribution of wealth while children starve? How much are they really contributing to the world to deserve that?

    You mention doctors and dentists, and I’d agree with you. They can keep their assets within reason.

    What about everyone else who isn’t in medicine? What about the people that aren’t easy for you to hide behind to justify your greed and consumerism?

      Well off suburbanites should not be exempt from redistribution, but I. Doubt it will happen in a grand revolution.

        There’s not going to be any “revolution.” I have a master’s degree in sociology. I could explain why, but it would be boring.
