Should just start by issuing a 80 percent tax in wealth that we haven’t hit yet
Say, 400 billion.

We (U.S.) should revisit the Alternate Minimum Tax. The whole idea was to mitigate excessive deductions for the wealthy by earablishing a more straightforward way of calculating that their tax must at least match the minimum. I believe it even worked for a few years.
AMT was not indexed for inflation so affects more people every year with inflation , not just the wealthy
there are still too many loopholes so “money finds a way”

I agree with you he’s an idiot, but he’s still rich and making money
