>What would it take to make the billionaire 1% pay the poor?

Answer:

>It is not possible or practical to make the billionaire 1% pay the poor directly. However, there are various ways in which governments and societies can reduce poverty and address income inequality. These can include policies such as progressive taxation, social welfare programs, and targeted initiatives to help disadvantaged groups. It is also important to address the underlying causes of poverty, such as lack of access to education, healthcare, and job opportunities. By addressing these issues and implementing effective policies, it may be possible to reduce poverty and improve the well-being of people who are struggling financially.

It's not bad, but it still kinda sounds like a high school C-average student vomiting up Wikipedia facts without understanding context or bothering to identify primary sources. It doesn't seem to discriminate well between fact and opinion.

I asked it again the same question, this time the answer is essentially "no fucking clue, let smart people figure it out":

>It's not clear exactly what you mean by "pay the poor," but there are various policies that have been proposed or implemented in an effort to address income inequality and provide support to low-income individuals and families. These can include things like progressive taxation, government assistance programs, and minimum wage laws, among others. However, there are also many complex political, social, and economic factors that can influence the feasibility and effectiveness of such policies. Ultimately, the specific steps needed to address income inequality and provide support to the poor would depend on a wide range of considerations and would require a thorough analysis of the specific context and circumstances.

It was thought that it is lack of access to education, healthcare, and job opportunities and to some extent it is. The deciding factor turned out to be the amount of government corruption

Everything is beautiful in theory, but in practice - they do not want to pay. politicians do not want to give away not their billions

Well, for one thing, you have access to chat gtp so you could just ask.

But the billionaires won’t even reasonably pay the workers who make them rich so asking them to pony up is not really how this will work.

Well, technically that is how it would work because governments would have to impose taxes to redistribute the money from those who have it to those that have less of it. I am all for this by the way but in essence, somehow the money is redistributed either through wages or taxes.

Good old fashioned extortion? Pay us a living wage or become supper. That's what it will take, for the rest of us to say enough is enough. You either give back your ill-gotten wealth or we re-enact the bloody terror all over the world. This isn't some fucking chess game its survival, and the 1% will never change willingly.
