Three words: tax the rich.

@Strandjunker 100% income tax on all billionaires will solve this right and quick. Think of what we could do with that stolen loot for people in this country.

@archivescribe Not sure. I don't think their wealth is in income. Probably, most of the time it's not. And I've heard several times about the "virtuous modesty" of a rich entrepreneur type, who doesn't even pay himself a salary from his own company. Income is sth workers have, wage and salary. But rich ppl have interests, equity, capex & opex, receivables, estates and other forms of property. So the shit that should be taxed to target them, I guess, is financial transactions.
