Totally agree. I'm starting to think that taxing the rich is one of the government's most important functions.

I think it might be worth it for them to do so even if they set the collected money on fire afterwards.

Otherwise your politics become this: billionaires "interviewing" billionaires.

It's literally regulation and that can be a good tool. It's what a government should ideally do. It can be weaponised of course, in both directions, like we are experiencing now.
