    We need an inverse lottery. The top 100 most wealthy Americans are automatically added to a pool and one is drawn at random each year. Then we confiscate everything they own, put them in the street, and see if they can get rich again.

      My thought was; you get to keep anything up to a billion every year. Everything over that goes into a public fund, that fund gets named after who put the most in, they get their name on the bills that come out, those bills (same as green backs) get paid to community projects, workers, infrastructure maintenance, and the billionaires get to put their names on it
