>There's an unproven assumption that somehow the inequality of outcome is 1) unjust, and 2) something to be "corrected."

There's decades of research into this if you care to look up wage theft, worker productivity vs compensation, the lobbying against unions and minimum wage and any other labor protections, and the fact that we ruled that it's okay for billionaires to buy politicians.you talk about enabling opportunities, but lobbyists have used it to pull up all the ladders and pay less back to the people. So yes, we're due for a correction.

If you're a millionaire this doesn't really apply to you. Your taxes go up maybe 2-3%. "Wealth tax" is in the realm of 100m and definitely by 1b.
