Running out of billionaire's money would be a good thing[1].

If they don't have money then they can't buy elections and aren't insulated from the consequences of their actions.

[1] Note: I don't really think we should literally take all their money. Just enough to reduce some of the power imbalance.

All their "money" is in business ownership percentages. It's not money.

  • It's ok if they pay their taxes in shares, in case they ran out of money.

  • That's even better. You just transfer beneficial ownership and route dividends to a different bank account. And now you have a LOT more Americans literally invested in Amazon/X/Meta's success. But poor Jeff, he did have to sell his yacht (no, the other one).
