    I wouldn’t make it a hard limit, just incrementally bigger tax percentage the higher you get

    That’s a fun idea. Like yeah it’s possible for you to become the first trillionaire, but you’ll be getting taxed at 99.999%. It almost encourages innovation, in a way, because now billionaires have to figure out how to keep all that money despite incredible taxation. Only the people with truly novel, math-bending ways of generating value would be able to be that wealthy (or perhaps more likely, just people exploiting loopholes I haven’t thought of…)
