There is no criminal underclass of convicted billionaire sociopaths. What are you talking about? Of course it won't happen if we continue to permit, excuse, and enable their behavior while crying about how hard life is.

To that I agree. However you can not make laws specifically criminalizing rich for "violations of accepted ethical norms". It will just open floodgates diverting regular and poor to underclass. This whole criminal background check should be made illegal with some very specific exceptions. It hunts people for the rest of their lives. Europe handles this situation much better in general from what I've heard.

My understanding is that for regular theft, there are different classes of charges depending on the amount stolen. Perhaps we could apply a similar approach at the top end? E.g. laws that only kick in when there has been more than a billion in damages or thousands of deaths?

>"more than a billion in damages or thousands of deaths?"

They were proposing criminal charges for "violating ethical norms" which is a bit different.
