If I had a button that when pressed would kill the richest person in the world, I'd press it until I physically couldn't any more. Hopefully the remaining millionaires would have the sense to see what's happening and spread their wealth more evenly amongst people, and every now and again, I'd press the button a few more times just to keep things from reverting.

Killing a billionaire does nothing but presenting the idea that being among the richest people would result in some regular, omnipotent death would do a lot.
