What's fun is everytime something like this is tried, it fails spectacularly... and they know that.
When in history did anybody take away billionaires' money?
There was a recent case of a young billionaire who basically signed over everything to a family member to live on the street to prove he could "Make millions from nothing!" and that the poors "Were just being lazy"
It didn't end well for him and he begged mommy to give him his wealth back because going too long without his gold-plated jaquzzi was hard
The French revolution and other related uprisings. See: Romanov family vs Bolsheviks.
Edit: it was a joke ffs
They took away power and status, not primarily the money.
Eh, those kids had a lot of diamonds on them.
They killed left and right, we're talking about like taxing unusable wealth from peop'e who don't need it (and didn't earn it in any kind of morally okay way).
You can't tax wealth.
Not with that attitude.
