Tax unrealized gains
Yes it’s not perfect. There may be issues if someone has like a family painting that goes up in value. That doesn’t mean we can’t at least try starting with the richest and most corrupt people lol

I think the point is that a person can easily live comfortably for the rest of their life with a billion, going beyond that is greedy and excessive.

Is it your belief that the government should take any wealth past the point of living comfortably?

Well, kinda? I moreso think along the lines that the government should be proactive rather than reactive. There’s no moral way to become a billionaire, really. So it should be next to impossible to accrue that much money in general.

Why do you believe theres no moral way you become a billionaire? Do you believe that wealth cannot be created?
