That would absolutely be a great start. But only that. A starting point.
Taxing the rich can be on the ballot. The problem is we often spend too much time fighting amongst ourselves letting the ownership class walk away with everything while we tussle over scraps. They've succeeded in putting a large portion of the population into a nihilistic Fugue state. Only trying to destroy things and hurt the group they've been told is the Boogeyman. Not improving things for themselves or others. As easy and as fun as it can be to ridicule conservatives importantly thought out plans and ideology. We need them. And they need us. If we want to make anything better that is. We need to break through the cynicism and nihilism and convince them that there is a way for things to be better.
It's not a small task by any means.
