How much will that do? You could tax their wealth (not even their income) at 100% and you would pay for a year of government shortfalls (in the US). I feel like at some level things really are just expensive to a degree society cannot afford. But maybe I’m missing something basic here?

Or tax the companies? And maybe a digital services tax on products like Jira etc.

The companies are where the billionaires get their fortune, so sure.
