You would get some version of the Soviet Union. Where all the rich people would be connected to government rather than industry. And industry would become enfeebled and unable to produce efficiently, and the average person would be much poorer than people currently are in the USA.

Wait, you mean like how all the rich people work for the US government, own all its popular media and pay near 0% tax?

I didn't realize the US was the Soviet Union, how ironic!

Thank you for making my point, even though you thought you were doing the opposite. The government is bad already, we shouldn't be making it worse with stupid irrational policies.
