Three words: tax the rich.
The polarisation of wealth is going to be catastrophic in terms of democracy and society. There should be international agreements in place to tax these individuals out of existence.
All we need to do is tax the rich at historically normal levels. No need to do anything unprecedented/unusual/excessive.
Said differently, just roll back previous tax breaks that have made current rates unusually low by historical standards.
And call out the "communism" rhetoric as the BS it is.
