You said "tax them into only having a million dollars," which I cannot reconcile with your latest statement "they’d still have everything else they currently own and could make money on that stuff, too."

If you are talking purely about how much cash they have in the bank, then every person would just buy stocks until they had under that amount. Almost nothing would change.

    FWIW, stocks also need to be taxed a lot more than they are, or sharply limited in their trading potential and/or as compensation. Compensation in stock is how most of the billionaires of today amass their wealth, and it needs to stop being the loophole that it is.
