WTF is wrong with you? Of course I'm not taking it personally, and obviously we wouldn't be taking away billionaire's fortunes under the current regime. There isn't the Congressional votes to pass it, nor would HitlerPig sign it.
IF we manage to take our government back, AND remove the DINO Democrats who are nothing more than Republican-Lites, then we can hopefully have a Congress who will pass legislation authorizing a re-write of the 1974 Tax Code, which baked-in Trickle Down Economics, resulting in an annual $2 Trillion shift of revenue from the middle/working class to the wealthy.

And who would take it? The Democratic government, acting on behalf of the American people. It's not done with guns (or shovels, WTF?), it's done with computers, and law enforcement. Their bank accounts will be frozen and confiscated, and their properties and assets seized and sold at auction, or utilized by the government.
These mechanisms have always been available, the Dems just never used them, while the MAGAs never histate to exploit them as much as possible.
