people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research

There is no closing this gap without universal basic income. We need to lift the entire bottom 60%. A $15,000 UBI per adult, with $5000 per kid, could close this gap. That's $40k for 2 adults + 2 kids. Tax the top 20% more than they get in UBI to further close the gap and help manage any inflation.
