  There is no law providing for such a sentence, so what you are talking about is either “make billionaireism illegal” or “extrajudicial punishment”. In the case of the former, we need a Guillotine Party to take over the DNC much like the Tea Party took over the GOP. Or, we need a guillotine party, French Revolution style, to resolve the problem-class at its source.

    If I have a company, where I intentionally make choices that kill my costumers, that would make me liable for manslaughter, me and anyone involved in the deaths. why healthcare billionaires are not liable?

    same with every other billionaire who profits from human suffering and deaths.

      No, actually, it doesn’t make you liable for manslaughter. It probably doesn’t even rise to the level of civil liability for wrongful death. They are compliant with the law, and they make sure of that by having their lawyers write the laws. The “anyone involved in the deaths” includes the deceased themselves, who is determined to bear primary responsibility.

      We can override the laws they are writing (Guillotine Party) or we can suspend the laws to hold them accountable (guillotine party). But jailing them without a conviction just isn’t feasible.

        fuck the law. those laws let them off the hook because they bribed (lobby) to have those laws.

        Just because a mass murder is legal does not mean it has to go unpunished.

        The holocaust was 100% legal, and no one has ever complained that it is unfair to prosecute nazis for not breaking the law.

        when the law is so unfair, you cannot use the law as an argument.
