Sorry to appear so negative on this but surely no matter what format of taxation/redistribution, call it what you will will not ever end up having the impact on the super wealthy that people may crave.
With such wealth comes the ability to engage the services of the very best taxation advisors...
oh whatever, grow up and understand why Im not going to put out details about specific establishments and their budgetary spends. If you don’t like that tough, you can be as cynical as makes you feel happy with yourself. If you can’t mange to get your head around that never mind.
