Can you explain what part of that is "communist nonsense"? Appropriate taxation (and leaving them with billions still even after that)? Or was it feeding hungry children you're against?

America had a tax rate of 91% on the obscenely wealthy for decades and around 70% until the 80s. Reducing this to historical lows has universally, by both bipartisan and nonpartisan[2] parties, been found to have been the primary driver of inequality[1].

At even an absurd 99% tax rate, applied equally instead of tiered, Michael Dell would have $1.5 billion dollars.
