Housing, Healthcare, Education etc....This should not be controversial.

Don't confuse my hatred of 
the hyperwealthy for jealousy 
over what they have. I don't 
want a 6-figure sports car, 
or a 40-room mansion, or a 
gold leaf truffle steak dinner. 
.
I want redistribution of wealth 
that allows for infrastructural 
support of all citizens' basic 
survival needs.

@DGI I totally agree with the sought result. Yet, perhaps #redistribution is not the most politically appealing concept. Sounds like "taking away money from those who earned it" to most people. If we keep this in mind, why not take the problem at the root: #hyperwealth only concetrates in the hands of the wealthy when they rip of their employees and suppliers. Rather than for redistribution, I would call for just compensation for the creators of wealth (the workers) aka #fairness
