For clarifictaion, I don't want to make rich people poor. They can stay rich, that's fine, but the extent of it is what's wrong. The top 10% can pay even more taxes and it wouldn't hurt them at all, meanwhile the lowest 10% would benefit massively. The imbalance should be countered to a certain degree, not totally, but a little bit. The government would be able to provide better public services -> a win for everyone. Improved wealth distribution would lead to less crime -> another win for everyone. Tell me how that is a bad thing. 

But millionaire xyz maybe wouldn't afford his 20th appartment, yes. That's the sacrifice.

The problem is the gap between 10 percentile and 1% percentile is massive.  I'm just at the edge of 10%...  dude I have one house, not 20.  I don't have yacht.  Having a few million puts one in upper, but it isn't like a couple million buys 20 houses.  

It was an example. An extreme one, okay, but still. Nothing more. I am pretty sure the 1% can spare another few percent of their money and still be absurdly rich.
