Combine it with societal givens, like how taxpayers are gleefully ready to donate hundreds of millions of dollars to pay more for the same product so that the flames ownership which consists of multiple billionaires' private buisness can make more money

Even in these examples of "true tax" I think it's ridiculous to advocate for a system where you can see the disparity between someone who makes a pretty decent wage (100k) would need to work for 70 thousand years to achieve
one year earnings of our hypothetical rich guys salary and somehow think the rich guy is paying enough tax
Yes, wealth disparity sucks.

The discussion here is taxing the wealthy. And the thing is - we do.

Solving wealth disparity is a different issue that has never been successfully dealt with. Even the most extreme example - communism, created a society that was hugely disparate. But the 'haves' were either those in power, or criminals.

Society has never been fair.
