    A 100% wealth tax on every dollar $1 billion and up would solve a lot of problems and doesn’t require guillotines.

      Every year, your total assets are assessed and every red cent required to bring you to below 1 billion dollars is taken.

      IF you ended up getting taxed at this rate, a bench gets installed in a public park with a small placard having your name on it. You get to pick the park.

        NGL I would still totally want to be on that placard. Central Park, where all the other rich people can see it.
