The billionaire tax would just restore things to normality. Throughout human history people with money they have always hid themselves, lying low, slowly distribute their riches across a myriad of heirs and nominees in order to conceal their true net worth. This makes sense both from a self-preservation point of view as well as a quality of life perspective. You don't want to second guess any social relationship that you have and think if people are just orbiting you because they want a piece of the pie. In America none of that happens, you have 5 different billionaires having their own space program. People inflate their number to get in the Forbes 400 , not the other way around, there is a sense of impunity about being rich and the notion is that you can buy your way out of any problem if only you can throw enough cash at it. I am not saying that a billionaire tax on unrealized gains is good or bad, but looking at our history as a specie it would just be NORMAL. What's abnormal and unprecedented is what is going on right now
