You don't understand how this works. The wealthy run businesses and invest their wealth into other businesses and theirs. People are provided products, services and jobs which gives them money in exchange for work. It's a mutually agreed upon symbotic relationship that benefits everyone. What you're talking about is stealing from people who earned their money to apply a temporary band aid and that's not right. The wealthy are not obligated to provide anything to anyone. You can't force them to be piggy banks that provide funding for ill thought-out social programs that only encourages dependence on the government and votes for a certain political party. If you push the wealthy too far, they'll leave country and/or move their wealth/jobs to protect what is rightfully theirs. It's not your money.
