The double standard is what gets me, and trust I’m a capitalist. Very successful, at a very larger well known company. The ability for the uber rich to play by a different set of rules should be eliminated. By 2018 billionaires had a lower effective tax rate in the us then the average working class citizen.

There aren't that many way to do it effectively. You'd have to support simplifying the tax code significantly. Maybe even eliminating it and going to a flat tax of some kind.
Or you could consider going to a straight consumption tax, which can't be avoided and scales with spend. This has its own issues also.
