You are overlooking a simple fact: Rich dont want to pay taxes.

You will always have problems when taking from the rich. 800 years ago It was barron rebellion (Magna Carta). Now its army of lawyers and gutted IRS. IMO War between taxman and rich is not entirely off table in future.

Except I fear being labeled "rich" as someone in the top 1% globally but making 85k a year in the US. If you want a Russian Revolution, where the farmers were the "rich", that's how you get a Russian Revolution.

Definitely taking "war" to be literal, so these were the thoughts I had.
