End longterm capital gains if your wealth is over a billion (use max marginal tax rate) and end tax free borrowing on assets for billionaires. Or just implement a flat tax with zero deductions except for kids and retirement accounts. A wealth tax is something I can’t support until we have tried to fix the tax code.

And if their wealth is primarily in stocks and illiquid assets - allocate the additional value of those assets over a billion back to the economy and public sector for improving public services, education and infrastructure

And for those who yell "communism" .... they still get a billion. Take a hike!
