I'm all for world wide wealth caps. Of any one has a measured wealth of say 5 million or more, 100% of their income goes to taxes.

This way we can keep everything the same, we just cut off the excesses by putting some sane rules at the base of the system

Nobody can have a net worth of over 5M, meaning that nobody can become crazy powerful. Governments get huge influx of resources, which can we used for universal healthcare, education, etc. all while keeping the world pretty much the same

Also, companies over a certain size should

not be able to buy other companies
change to a trade limited form
not be allowed acces to stock market

to ensure fair play, good working conditions and a long-term stable market.

Myself I would allow for people to be rich and would just use a very large tax rate. when takes went over 90% it effecitively stopped anything to large. It could actually be much smaller but has to apply to all income that comes in. I mean honestly things are so effed now that we likely need a 90+ percent until normalized.
