The simplest way to tax billionaires is to appropriate the businesses they own. Nationalizing the fossil fuel industry would create a mechanism to wind down its operations. Industries like healthcare and education should be public. Amazon should be a national service. Internet access should be a public utility.

@SteveFoerster do you always ask leading questions, or is it always just assuming a single post constitutes all the thought someone has on a given topic?
@benlockwood When you make a far reaching and controversial statement in public without elaborating, you shouldn't be surprised by skeptical questions.
And yes, I'd be happy to consider your expanded thinking. I realize I'm just some Internet rando, so you may not be inclined to take the time to type it all out here, but if you've written elsewhere and have a link, I'd click it.
@benlockwood Do you see any drawbacks there, or is it just nationalize everything and let the permanent golden age begin?
