re: "the solution is humane", I think it's also important to point out the sheer magnitude of the wealth that the richest have--you could take away 90% of Jeff Bezo's wealth, and he'd still have more money than any one person could reasonably spend in a lifetime. Higher taxes won't materially harm him--he'll truly be fine. And the rest of us will be vastly better off!
