I don’t speak for anyone but myself.
My demands are accountability first and foremost. Anyone who has played any part in enabling trump must face consequences. They need to be severe, if it happens again.
Every ICE agent, every GOP house and Senate member, all the cabinet, etc. I am not okay with playing politics over this. It’s black and white. You followed orders that enabled treason, you are treasonous. The least guilty among them should have a minimum of 5 years to serve.
Beyond that it’s a tax strategy that completely disables the possibility of any person having 100,000,000x the wealth of another person in the country. Like if you have $100M, literally all of the rest of your money can go to those worth less than $1.
Idk how bout some real antitrust?
Oh I know, no owning more than 1 parcel of land per county per person.
No corporate ownership of land.
C suite liability for corporate personhood or eliminate it.
Universal healthcare
Laws against predatory loan practices.
I’d say that’s about the bare minimum.

I’d have put not 100 million $, but $ 1.5 million (including bonuses) above the lowest earners in the country, pacing with inflation but never more than it. It’s the amount you’d need to live purely on interest.
This would have as compounded effect that the rich would actually for once be motivated to raise the wages of their employees, if they wanted higher wages themselves.
