Look, our politicians are bought and paid for so I'm going to suggest something unorthodox here: we get the blood boys to float the idea of a wealth tax with these people.

A man's never as vulnerable and open to new ideas as when he's siphoning the life force from his best blood boy.

'Open veins open brains', as they say.

Is it just me or does Bill Gates starting to look more and a more like Stephen Hawking ? 🙃

Is this an annual tax though? Or, a one time tax? Is it a tax on income or total net worth?

Annual on net worth

This chart is bullshit. Scale the taxes owed the same as the money remaining so we can visualize what a fuckall pittance it is in comparison.

While I agree with the sentiment it's worth noting that this wealth isn't usually liquid. It's tied up in other assets. Like shares in companies. Liquidating those shares to pay a wealth tax will also dilute their influence in those companies. Not to mention liquidation comes with additional taxes.
