The problem isn't that we don't know how (solved issue: UBI, higher pay for less work, high marginal income tax rate, unrealized capital gains tax above a minimum, land tax, etc.).

The problem isn't even the billionaires.

The problem is convincing comfortable, ambitious middle-high earners to put a cap on their and their bosses' prospects in exchange for the stability (and subsequent ground preparation for innovation) of a higher floor.

They're the stumbling block because they're the ones who, on balance and en masse, have the money and votng power to excuse and enable the status quo.
