To save money, eat the rich.

But seriously, why are we letting these dragons hoard wealth for no real reason other than bigger number makes them feel more important.

Economies work best when money is moving fast between the lower and middle classes. Wealth tax the fuck out of the obscenely rich and give incentives to raise wages, suddenly people are able to spend more and whatdoyaknow the economy grows.
