I think having a society of 1000 ultra rich and infinity poor and desperate isn’t great either but also realize that simply taking billionaire wealth from them isn’t exactly a solution

this is the exact problem with socialism/communism: it promises to redistribute wealth, but this disincentive individuals from excelling in any area and eventually become dependant of the State - and because "Free" doesn't actually exist, at the end socialist measures end up into the money printing a.k.a. capitalist hell. 

both are the same shit - one feeds each other.1

Noblesse oblige isn’t a law. It’s the INFERRED cultural responsibility of the wealthy to act with generosity towards the less fortunate 

We feel like we need laws telling billionaires what to do with their money because no one has this sense of responsibility 

No one cares for one another. It’s “fuck you I’ve got mine” all the way down

"noblesse oblige" opposes civil liberties, as no one should ever dictate what you or (anyone for that matter) must do.

This is socialism's core: it abolishes individual freedom for a supposed "greater good." The issue arises when this "greater good" is built on the absolute will of a nobility, becoming just another bourgeoisie (or some sort of "shared tyranny" in my personal experience with these models) as it may be seen in 100% of historical examples.

Enforcing existing laws AND good laws should be enough, however "changing the law" is also a double-edged sword... Idk Keccers... all our answers will always get filled with more questions.

I tend to think of some of the wealth hoard type stuff as monopoly problems. I favor better antitrust and encouraging actual noblesse oblige / culture of stewardship
