$1B is a representation of wealth, not income. So you want a wealth tax that confiscates equity wealth based on mark to market valuations. Which means the wealthy must sell stock and surrender ownership of their enterprise. They also surrender control. Bezos, Zuckerburg, Buffet, Musk, Jobs, Gates and many other billionaires would have been stopped in their tracks with your draconian policy. Their enterprises would have been killed. The wealth you see now would have never existed. But none of that matters as liberals get pure joy from destroying the productive class of Americans.
