    Unless this came along with a massive overhaul of the tax system I don’t see how it would fix anything. Say you kill billionaire #1. Now he’s dead, but his 5 kids are billionaires. His money doesn’t magically get recirculated, most of it isn’t even real so it doesn’t get taxed.

    You’d need a wealth cap and it’d probably need to be almost global in scale to prevent these dipshits from running away (at least until they learned to realize that there’s essentially no lifestyle difference between $50M and $50B.
