Not agreeing as a society that money == speech would be a good start.

I like that.

I also like a two-pronged approach which includes taxing the billionaires out of existence. I haven't heard any significant downside to doing that. All the more so when weighed against the possible upsides.

I think what frustrates me above all else is that we, as a society, as a people, could have it so much better.

We could all be living in such a better world but for the allowances we make for the most sociopathic and greedy among us.

		I sometimes think there should be a completion state to capitalism. When you reach an arbitrary score, like $100 million, you get presented with a cup that says ‘congratulations, you won capitalism’ on it and are given the choice of either playing again from the start but this time on hard mode (no emerald mine or parents being friends with the IBM chairman this time), or keeping your winnings but fucking off somewhere to never be seen or heard of again. Seriously though, that billionaires can exist, that so much power and wealth can be concentrated in the hands of so few while so many have nothing is utterly repugnant.
