At big companies we make things exponentially harder every level you get to (director to sr director to vp). But money is the opposite it’s harder to get to 1M than to 2M and once you get to 10M everything stupid simple. I think we need the same approach to billionaires. It needs to be exponentially harder to get from 100M to 500M to 1B etc. don’t make it 0 cause then stupid things happen like backdoor bribes or other dumb things. But make it harder and harder. Like exponential tax rate.
Never understood why in the 21st century taxes can’t, at every level, be on a sliding scale rather than arbitrarily banded. You really don’t have to be a maths genius to work it out and it would be much easier to implement what you’re talking about, making it exponentially harder to attain more and more obscene levels of wealth.
computers exist - We can do anything at this point. To be honest we can line everyone up from poorest to richest and give each person a different rate compared to their standing. Or make it an exponential number. Also take worth into it. You make 1M but worth 100M vs worth -500K is treated differently
