    I understand the extreme difference between millions and billions. My point is neither a millionaire nor a billionaire needs it.

      Sure, but we don’t “need” anything above our basic survival cost, let’s go live on the Savannah and hunt our food again.

      For me the problem are those who hoard wealth, who don’t earn a salary but sit and live off their massive pile of accumulated wealth. We need a wealth tax now.
