1. Changing how campaign contributions/PACs function seems like a more reasonable way to change this than simply pursing a quasi-communist means of dragging wealthy people down, in the hopes that with less money they'll have less influence over the political system. I'm kind of sympathetic to 'wealth taxes will give us more income for programs to better society', but when it turns out to outright retributive 'taking money away from some people is an aim in and of itself', I get pretty concerned. No societies that are explicitly & punitively about punishing the wealthy seem to function particularly well 2. If wealthy people like the Koch brothers are going to be taxed anyways, they may spend more of their wealth on campaign contributions simply because they'll lose the money either way. If it's 'use it or lose it', why not keep spending more on dark money PACs or whatever?
