So should we tax people based on their political power? A heavily-read blogger might have thousands of times more ability to affect the political landscape than an eccentric billionaire. If you were to do a scatter plot between wealth and ability to affect the political landscape I believe you’d find they were correlated but not that heavily; the things that give you political pull include charisma, eloquence, and gregariousness. If we are concerned with cancelling out the ability of the wealthy to influence politics should we not also be doing something about charismatic individuals?
