It's all about the tax code.
What we need is a tax regimen that discourages the formation of extravagant wealth. Billionaires have way too much money, and when they invest their excess money in politics, nothing good will ensue for non-billionaires.
We need a political leader with the cajones to stand on a platform that promises a tax structure that will turn every billionaire into a millionaire.
That would sell to the masses.
And if you're super-rich, it's really no skin off your ass, as you get to keep 999 million, which should keep the Gulfstream in the air and keep the staff on the yacht and the London and New York City homes flush for the duration.
But we'd seriously curtail the ability of the super-rich to twist politics to their whims. Mike Bloomberg would think twice about tossing $100 millions at an election campaign if he only had a $999 million kitty to draw from.
