Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

What we need to think about is how this works practically. A billionaire isn't someone with a billion dollars in their bank account: it's someone with a 50% share in a business with a market cap of $2bn. How do we address that fairly?

Now I'd say that a business with a certain level of profitability owes something to its employees, such that very few businesses would reach that level of capitalisation.

I don't see the issue, if we say 1 billion is too much (I would choose a lower maximum personally) if their wealth in any way or form is above the max, they have to sell a house or some asset, society in the form of the government (or whathever is in place) take the money to be used for public interest project. It's really not that punishing, they would literally be the richest people, and they would still have plenty of money/asset to enjoy life. They don't need more.
