With very few exceptions, the wealthy of this country (the .1% that purchase politicians like commodities) are psychopathic to the extent that they totally lack empathy or even logical concepts of needs of others. They do, however, understand money and how it is created.

The best way to deal with them is not necessarily in attempting to remove/redistribute their wealth, but may simply be to make them irrelevant to the government and the public purpose. This can only be accomplished by making the average voter equally aware of federal finance and how it differs from his/her own.

That difference lies in the fact that the monopoly issuer of a nation's sovereign fiat currency never "needs" its own currency back to enable spending. It always has an infinite amount of that currency available to it, so the "pay for" concept of taxation is moot and only a diversion that enlists the vast resources of the wealthy against any benefit to the people.

Once we get past the "need" to divest them of their wealth to "fund" the public purpose we can move on to regulating how they create that wealth and ensure that it doesn't do irreparable harm. Without the cover of "fairness" in tax law to hide behind they will lose any battle for their desire to ransack our environment or economy for their narrow interest or gain. In truth, the people really don't like them much.
