Even though I think the comment you replied to is wildly over-simplifying how things work:

> By whom? The people with > $100M net worth in Congress and their friends?

That is how taxes have historically worked, so why object this time?

> At which point do we realise politicians are not on our side?

That's the argument for democracy. I would like democracy to be better than it is, but fundamentally, this is what it's for: getting the politicians on our side.

There are 6 Senate members (out of 100) and 7 House members (out of 435) with net worth > $100 million.

> By whom?

By the relatively small group of armed leftist activists ready to use violence until their goal would be achieved.
