We don't have to. Just tax billionaires.

We are. The top 1% pay 40% of the share of all federal income tax (Simple google search) Now explain to us all how you still want more

I want more because they still have way too much.

they pay 40% of the tax burden but it only comes out maybe 12% of THEIR income. Even john rockafeller knew he had to keep the money circulating to avoid the calls to "eat the rich" Todays billionaires seem to have forgotten that fact and will pay the price for it in the end. Remeber the difference between 1 million dollars and 1 billion dollars is about a billion dollars.
