      Why? If you say that we should live like that don’t you want it for yourself?

        I was saying we need something positive to benefit society and the wealthy person to deal with people accumulating too much wealth.

        The story just shows us it is possible and makes me think of other possibilities.

            It has to be a solution that benefits both parties, but I also recognize that one party is giving up something tangible.

            They have to be compensated in some real way. That is why I propose make a wish for the ultra wealthy. We pick an obscenely rich person, take 99% of what they own, and give them the one thing money can’t buy. A real wish that can be anything humans can reasonably provide.
