13. I think that wealth of greater than maybe 50 million should be taxed like property with property taxes.

As long as your wealth is over that amount, you are taxed. Not income based as that can always be cheated and does nothing about the hoarding of money.

If some executive is only paid $1 a month but has 100 million in stock that their company gave them, they can borrow at almost 0 interest rate have have great wealth. All those shares should be classed as property and taxed. Every single year.
