Yeah, that's called a wealth tax or marginal tax rate. And we need that too. Only problem is that over half of America has been thoroughly brainwashed into believing that a wealth tax would "ruin the economy" because multiple conservative think tanks funded by billionaires has spent the last 4 decades propagandizing that belief into them.

the weird thing is, if the billionaires had their wealth redistributed, it would actually BENEFIT the economy. People hoarding wealth does nothing for anyone except them.
