I've been advocating for something similar:

Something like that. I'm sick of wealth centralization. If a startup wants to use the software, great! Once Peter Thiel invests though it's $1m a year. My core beef with billionaires is that they do not pay their fair share in taxes. The push all their money into shell companies or park it overseas and we end up with doctors that actually save peoples lives paying double or triple the tax rate that the ultra wealthy pay.

A close second is the performant persecution complex. Third might be the rationalist rhetoric about slippery slopes (eg anything less than Freedom Markets™ is socialism).
