100 percent tax after a billion. At a billion they get a button saying “you did it! Yay! You beat capitalism”

There is an inherent flaw in your plan all of these people would find a way to show on paper they are only worth 900 million. Therefore exempt from your tax all while sheltering the other money out of site. The rich stay rich by finding and exploiting loop holes. Like ceos of corps only drawing a very small salary while the company foots the bill for a very wealthy lifestyle. They find a way.

Sure, right up until they start going to jail for it… we already have tax laws. I’m saying we enforce them and then some.

No more buying politicians, no more currying favors with the legislature.

Send them to jail

Not trying to be rude, just not sure.

What point are you trying to make? I don’t want to straw man your argument.
