And how do you address the massive injustice in wealth and opportunity distribution already present because of centuries of capital and power sharing the same bed? I'd be all for your proposal if it included a way to nationalise all capital above a certain threshold, bring everyone to that threshold and then distribute the rest based on merit. But I don't think that is possible. But your proposal assumes not just a just world, but that the world already has been just for 100s of years

Ah yes, I have a solution for that. Link tax breaks to having children, and penalise the childless wealthy. Eventually society will be mostly comprised of the descendents of the successful, and inequality will be reduced.

Millionaire parents having one child concentrate their wealth into a small part of society. They should instead be having multiple. Success and intelligence has a genetic component, so you're improving the overall health of society through such measures as well.

Otherwise there are far less radical things than breaking up and dividing wealth (which has worked horribly in the past - look at the USSR). Simply breaking up large monopolistic tech companies such as Valve, Google and Amazon for example, as was done for Bell Telecom.

I'm often amused looking into simple solutions for complex problems. Sometimes though I'm tired reminding about the pitfalls on this path.

What you propose is not particularly well supported by explanations. There are examples in the past (I'm omitting them) when such an approach lead to bad things.
