  By the by. What will these "protesters" do if the "rich" simply move away and take their assets with them?

  What these clowns do not understand is that the "rich" aren't as rich as they think they are. Take Bill Gates, for instance. He is "worth" $56.0 billion. Is that money lying around in some bank account with his name on it? No. It is the total of ALL of his assets including Microsoft.

  So let's say that the $56.0 billion was to be confiscated and given to every man, woman and child in the United States. There are ~312 million Americans so that means that each person would get 56,000,000,000 / 312,000,000 = $179.49 per person ONE TIME. That number can only be accomplished by selling off EVERY ASSET Bill Gates owns. There would be no more Microsoft because all of its assets would have to be sold off to meet the demand. Everyone who works at Microsoft would be thrown out of work. Everyone who specializes in Microsoft products would be thrown out of work. All of those taxpaying people who feed the system these clown eschew would then go on the dole creating even greater need for other people's money.

  Since all of Bill Gates' assets are now gone, the $56.0 billion would not be available next year as those assets no longer exist.

  The protesters are simply lazy good-for-nothings who want to exist for nothing and be supported by the sweat of other people's brow. They think socialism would be a great thing; but they don't consider what happens when they run out of other people's money.

  The answer to the first part of the question is: Ethanol and other biofuels. The UN recently declared biofuels to be a "crime against humanity".

  The answer to the second part of the question is: Stop turning foodstocks into fuel to run our vehicles.
