Wealth is an abstract. What is a corporation price? You do one media statement and the price plummets. The "means of production" surely cost some, but if it crumbles and you just sell whatever you can, it would be a tiny fracture of what "the company" was "worth" before.
The most wealthiest people don't just sit on cash, they run businesses. One of the reasons why you can't just eat the rich (even if you have the power), it's just not effective. You'll get scraps by killing the whole industries.
What you can do is tax the "rich" with progressive taxes, where the "rich" is an upper working class, and maybe lower middle class. Its never about the wealthiest.
Left/Right politics is a clown fiesta. We need some fresh ideas, cause these surely don't work.
