The focus on the rich is weak leftist crap designed to prevent nodes of power that are independent of the regime. Rich means someone has acquired a lot of currency and assets. Wealth, on the other hand, is access to goods and services. Government bureaucrats, NGO workers, prominent college professors, journos, and other members of the managerial elite can have access to a lot of goods and services without being rich. Instead of "Tax the Rich" it should be "Expropriate the Wealthy", which means liquidating the universities, NGOs, etc as well as the billionaires.
I think you missed my point. Focusing on just the billionaires misses so many other nodes of power. The Senior Executive Service, for example, can have just as much, if not more, access to resources. Inherent to simply taxing the rich is to transfer resources to government bureaucrats. The entire elite managerial class needs to be thrown out.
Ah, we were talking past each other. At an absolute minimum, all the governing elites need to be expropriated and sequestered on a remote tropical island with no communication to the rest of the world while a naval force shoots anyone coming or going on sight, and that is merely the most lenient way to handle them.
