tax them on what? their extravagance? easy-peasy, create a tax on luxury goods like yachts and whatnot

Tell them wealth is making them become too woke and we need to eliminate wokeness by taxing the wealthy and redistributing it to the poor and elderly. It would completely own the libs.

wealth tax would be more direct and to the point.

Horrible idea. The discrepancy between the amount of luxury goods billionaires purchase and the amount of control they can exert through corporate holdings is astronomical.
It is easy enough to tax assets; the market already sets the price and several countries have been doing this successfully for years. For wholly private companies, valuation can be more difficult but this is only a small fraction of companies and no solution needs to be perfect to surpass the current disaster of growing wealth inequality.

Also asset taxes are not a new thing. Property taxes have existed since the beginning of time. And those are far more difficult to assess than stock ownership.

heck, at this point we'd be lucky for the elected lackeys to merely stop actually giving them money

Property tax amounts are actually based on something: the price of the last sale plus the price paid for any major additions. What will the government base the taxation of unrealized gains in corporate stock on?? I think you’ll find that your idea violates the United States constitution

Based on the market price of the stock. Can't tell if trolling or just dumb.
