I knew a Swede who was an executive at a Swedish company in the late 60s and 70s when the rates were at or near 100% on certain income. He and the other execs made low salaries but had Persian rugs in their offices, company cars, a company dining room, etc. In essence, the company provided services for them. When Sweden started clamping down on that, he moved to the US.

If you were and evil evil man and a genie granted you one wish... would you wish for wealth or power?... would you not think the evil man that wished for wealth over power was a fool?

it’s not an accumulation of wealth ... it and accumulation of power that is a source of all problems... redistribute power so each individual is equal and wealth will follow to each individual that uses individual equal share of self power and self rule wisely

“That’s smart policy, and there’s no evidence that would hurt the incentives of folks at Google or Microsoft or Uber not to invent what they invent or not to provide services they provide,” the president said. “It just means that instead of $20 billion, maybe they’ve got 18, right? But it does mean that Mom can go to work without worrying that her kid’s not in a safe place.”

This is, as Ayn Rand would have put it, the leper's bell of an approaching looter. Empty platitudes, wrapped in language designed to tug at the heartstrings of the female voter, advocating banal-sounding redistributionist policies backed up by government guns and the gulag.
