It’s sad that even the idea of a very high tax rate for even the top 0.1% is off the table. I really like the suggestion of capping net worth at $999 million and the government gets the rest.
Could you imagine the talent pool the most profitable companies would have if all net profits over X billion dollars were automatically redistributed to it’s labor force? Suddenly the wealthiest middle class on earth would be in the US until then somehow clawed that money back.

How does that work when for example a single company is worth two billion? Does the government now own >50% of it?
Easiest implementation would be shares start getting shared to all other employees. No more big owner when profits come from the laborers.
