prove it
Prove that wealth doesn't just poof out of existence when the owner dies?
prove that another billionaire would take their place. this is a serious hypothesis that we can test, but the conclusion is not foregone.
Someone inherits their wealth. You realize this, right?
please run the experiment with a sufficient sample size and let me know the results.
No.
ok well if you don't have any evidence I'm going to dismiss your conclusion.
I'm not providing anything because the fact that inheritances exist isn't something that requires a peer reviewed study.
But you know this since you're being intentionally obtuse.
your assertion isn't that inheritances exist, but that removing billionaires will result in more billionaires continuing the destruction of the planet. there is no evidence for this, since billionaire removal has not been tested.
The people who inherit the billions will be the billionaires who take their place. I'm not sure why this is such a hard concept to grasp.
but we don't know that they would continue the actions that led to their predecessors removal. it's an interesting theory and we can test it!!
