Saw a Reddit thread where someone asked what would happen if a personal wealth cap of $100M was introduced.

The comments were entirely full of people gleefully calling the poster dumb and going to great lengths to argue how nothing can ever be changed about wealthy people being wealthy actually, because their wealth makes the economy run and that messing with the stock market will break the world.

So many excuses all over for complacency with an economic system that is very much the result of specific policy decisions and doesn’t even do the things it’s supposed to.

Why do people keep hiding behind the economy as if it’s a weird deity?
