    Really sounds like you are arguing in favor of those ideological reasons.

    I’m not saying we should take the fortunes of the rich and light them on fire. (Though there would be benefits even to that destructive approach)

    Sure, eating the rich would not solve all our problems forever. It would solve some immediate problems today, and future generations would need to grapple with their problems tomorrow.

    “We can’t change things! There would be costs!” There are costs to inaction. We are paying them every day.

      If you get rid of the rich, what will you do then? The institutions we have now, the social order we have now, what will you replace it with? Who will control the economy and by what means?
