Comment on just temporarily embarrassed billionaires, one good idea or lottery ticket from making it rich

THIS math may not work, but there is math that will work.

A good start is the America First Fund (irony intended), which is what we will use as seed money for the social programs that this country desperately needs to be able to compete with ever other industrialized nation.

The American First Fund is where we will collect things like the tariff repayments. Why should those go to the government, when they were stolen from the Citizens? That money should go into the America First Fund. Any corporate fines collected because of their crimes against Citizens, should go into the AFF.

And fines against corporations and Sociopathic Oligarchs should be increased enormously. The minimum fine for ANY infraction should start at $1 billion. Fines should hurt them, just like a $200 “rolling through a stop sign” ticket hurts Citizens.

And confiscation should be on the table. Corporations are to be operated to benefit the American economy, and the Citizens. If you continue to operate your business to your personal benefit alone, at the detriment of society, your entire corporation will be confiscated, and operated as a non-profit to benefit society, with any excess revenues going to the AFF. And Oligarch families who find themselves destitute because their entire estate was confiscated due to their sociopathic behavior toward their fellow Citizens, will NOT be eligible for the AAF benefits funded by those confiscations. In the future, the only homeless people will be former oligarchs who have EARNED their homelessness.

The America First Fund’s level will be mentioned nightly on the evening news. When the wealthy tune in to see what the Dow/ NASDAQ/ S&P were for the day, the rest of the Citizens can see where the America First Fund stands, and the wealthy will also see it, and know that their money could be removed, and added to it at any time.

American Citizens should benefit by fines against corporations for abusing us, they shouldn’t go to the government to build more bombs or golden monuments, while we’re told there is no money for food or healthcare or education. Those fines belong to US, and the America First Fund makes sure those funds are spent on US, and not the Sociopathic Oligarchs who caused the fines in the first place.
