Simultaneously, an unfathomably large sum of money would become available in use-it-or-lose-it fashion to the billionaires. Political spending on the 2020 election was about $15 billion, while you're advocating a system that would substationally rebalance a $4.4 trillion national revenue stream. Do you think that the rich would spend more than $15 billion fighting that? Bezos made $70 billion this year and in previous years had an effective tax rate of about 0.9%. Increase that rate to 37% - or extrapolate a curve forward from $578k - and if he succeeded then by himself he could profitably spend more fighting this proposal than Biden, Trump, and every super PAC spent in 2020.
