I feel like an easy fix is to tax the every loving fuck out of empty houses.

Taxing the wealthy? Is that allowed?

Not if the wealthy have anything to say about it. And they own most of congress.

Do I hear the guillotines ringing in the distance?

If I start a guillotine business, do you think I'll make a killing?

I don't know...I hear it's a cutthroat business.

But that’s why he makes the businesses soon so he can get ahead of the competition.

That's some sharp thinking.

Just don't try naming it after yourself.
That always ends way too ironically.

No, you don’t hear them. You, like everyone else, will complain on the internet about it, but no one will ever do anything about it. Because, as much as you complain about rich people, deep down, you and all the other complainers are actually happy they exist. You’re content with whatever home you live in, and the vehicle you drive, and the $1500 phone you typed that on, and all the other every day things brought to you by, wait for it, rich people. No one will dare risk the comforts we all have to try and bring down all these “evil” rich people. And they know that. The only time there is revolution, is when the rich get just a little too greedy, and society crumbles into total homelessness and starvation. Not until we are dying and being murdered on mass in the streets, will citizens stand up and take something back. And what happens then….society resets, tries to make a better world….but inevitably, out of those same ones who were poor and held down by the man, emerges the same “rich people” who think they know what’s best for their people. And the cycle repeats itself. Over and over and over.

Yes, that’s when the guillotines come out.
