Germany's Left Party wants to halve billionaires' wealth
-
That's fine by me. Just leave me a piece
preferably the bit that contains all the hard work they did to become a billionaire. -
Better than no coverage at all imho.

That’s a fantastic quote. This is how you can still run campaigns today!

You can't say it'd be against the constituion. That is debatable (and debated, see e.g. Wolfgang Abendroth).
The interpretation of the constitution is subject to powerdynamics as well. And it's the only smart way to design a constitution if it's meant to be the everstanding stable foundation of a society. .. cause you know, those tend to change

Yeah, Well see :X

Why do you think art is used all the time for money laundering? It’s almost impossible to determine how much it’s worth. Well until someone buys it.

They are quite aware of the constitution and it's implications. Complicated, sure, but not impossible. I recommend to listen to van Aken talking about the topic.
Calling it a lie is disingenuous.

The difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is about a billion dollars

Tax = Purchase Cost × Minimum Wage(Moment of Purchase) ÷ Minimum Wage(Moment Tax is Charged)
You can multiply that all by a magnitude term, depending on the taxation frequency, or to charge more/less.
This is a totally arbitrary formula intended to discourage holding non-cash assets that provide no intrinsic utility, and it incentivises owners to raise the minimum wage.
I'm sure a team of experts can come up with a better one. It isn't hard to come up with these sorts of measures, and they CAN be enforced (don't believe their lies). You just need to disentangle yourself from notions of rules-based "fairness" that exist to justify & preserve our presently lawless economy, where might makes right.
