I think you missed the point that there shouldn't be a class of wealthy who exist separately from the rest of society in the first place. Arguing over what their responsibility to the public is only serves to legitimize their existence when the focus should be on the elimination of it.
That could be achieved by taxing them sufficiently.
Taxing the owning class doesn't remove the owning class. It does nothing to dismantle the unjust systems of ownership and the governance which maintains its continued exploitation of the working class.
Tax them hard enough that they don't have resources to spend on buying everything up and then everyone can be the owning class.
That doesn't stop them from leveraging their ownership of said resources to force legislation in their favor.
You seriously need to read theory and learn how this stuff works.
