My solution is that everyone pays the same rate and let the billionaires set that rate. They’re good with the 30% or whatever it is we pay? Let them pay it too. I wonder what rate they’d set it at. 10? 5? That would be nice for us.

    Nah, it should absolutely scale upwards. If they lose the incentive to hoard more money because all the excess gets taken away, they'll have fewer opportunities to harm people.

    Of course, we should also remind them that the alternative would be guillotine.
