Well I did read the TL;DR in a German newspaper, now I'm reading the primary source.

Gar nicht mal so wenige Überreiche wollen mehr besteuert werden. 270 weltweit, 16 davon aus Deutschland.

Wir finden: Die Initiative der SPD zur Erbschaftssteuer ist dazu ein guter erster Schritt. Der laute, substanzlose Reflex der Union übertüncht, dass es auch dort Stimmen gibt, die die wachsende Ungleichheit in Deutschland als Problem sehen.

Daran kann man doch arbeiten!

... because they want to be taxed.

Na endlich: Über 200 Superreiche fordern in #Davos höhere Vermögenssteuern. Weil sie sehen, dass extreme Ungleichheit und Machtkonzentration Demokratien schaden. #ProudToPayMore

Why the world cannot afford the rich

The underlying reasons for inequality having such profound and wide-ranging impacts are psychosocial. By accentuating differences in status and social class — for example, through the type of car someone drives, their clothing or where they live — inequality increases feelings of superiority and of inferiority. The view that some people are worth more than others can undermine people’s confidence and feelings of self-worth. And, as studies of cortisol responses show, worry about how others see us is a powerful stressor.
[...]
The well-publicized lifestyles of the rich promote standards and ways of living that others seek to emulate, triggering cascades of expenditure for holiday homes, swimming pools, travel, clothes and expensive cars.

-> The science is crystal clear.

Wealthy individuals from around the world posted an open letter urging countries to increase taxes on the rich which will provide needed resources for the public good.

“This will not fundamentally alter our standard of living, nor deprive our children, nor harm our nations’ economic growth. But it will turn extreme and unproductive private wealth into an investment for our common democratic future. “

Los propios superricos presentan una campaña en Davos pidiendo que se les suban los impuestos. "Nuestra petición no es radical. Es una demanda de vuelta a la normalidad basada en la observación de las condiciones económicas actuales. [...] La desigualdad ha alcanzado un punto crítico y su coste para la estabilidad económica, social y ecológica es enorme, necesitamos actuar ahora. [...] Orgullo fiscal o vergüenza económica, esa es la elección"
