So if you divided up the wealth and spread it around how much would it be?
Well doing some simple math it would be about 31000 dollars per person if you completely stripped the wealthiest 1%, what do you believe would do more for the planet, giving 31000 dollars each to the most ignorant people on the planet or leave it to the people who produced it?
And it would be a one shot deal, anyone that was smart enough to accumulate some wealth only to have it confiscated would be smart enough to not let it happen again.

And in 5 years the 1% would have most of it back anyway, wealth inequality will improve when the poor and uneducated quit reproducing at an exponential rate compared to the educated.
