The goal is to stop wealth inequality from continuing to rise and to even decrease it. Taxing wealth (holding on to assets and letting them generate income passively) past a certain amount (progressive tax brackets based on wealth) is the first step to have precisely the effect of reducing that inequality. People with no/little wealth will be taxed nothing/very little and the wealthiest will be taxed a lot; offer government subsidies for those with no or little wealth to make their daily spending easier, perhaps even a small UBI. All of a sudden, wealth inequality is going the other way. That seems kind of obvious, frankly.
