yelling at nobody in particular here, but taxing a billionaire is not the same as the cops seizing your personal property. if you are a person who makes and spends money, or even someone who has a bunch of investments and cares about things like dividends and capital gains, you do not interface with money like a billionaire. the rules that need to change have to do with things you will never touch, like restricting the ability to collateralize margin loans with unrealized gains.
