    He says that the police will be under constant surveillance. They already are and they still get away with crimes. Unless being a criminal is a cops best behaviour.

    Says a wealth-hoarding, mass carbon-polluting asshole. His ethics and those of everyday people are vastly vastly different due to his inability to pay taxes.

      Inability?

      Larry Ellison pays less taxes than you because he is a parasite on society and we let him steal from us.

        Yeah, right. His inability is a choice, an ethical one.

      If the billionaires want the Chinese model for us, it’s only fair they fall under that same model.

        You know what? Seeing as how we’re getting it anyway whether we like it or not, I think I’d voluntarily take the surveillance state and censorship if it comes with rich people getting absolutely stomped by the government when they get out of line.

        Maybe we can adopt the Vietnamese model where that billionaire either pays back $9 billion of embezzled funds or gets executed.

        If we can’t have a real democracy with real freedom I at least want blood of vengeance to bathe in from time to time.

    Can we have a crowd-sourced bounty system for billionaires? The more billions they have the higher the bounty. I think it would be a good investment of public funds and benefit mankind greatly.

    Truly nothing like Big Brother telling you he’s gonna big brother you. And of course don’t forget that those in power will never be subjected to this, it’s only for the little peasants in case they may decide to not fully conform to their ideal society (wageslaving to make the rich richer until you drop dead)
