My take is that billionaires are mostly made because they own a very successful company. So when you talk about wealth tax of these billionaires, you automatically talk about diminishing their stake in said company(-ies).
And I think that is the main point that needs to be discussed.

- koonsolo 4y agoHow would that work in practice? Like give shares to workers as the company becomes more valuable?
