People need to realize that billionaires shouldn't exist.

In a world where people die from famine, billionaires should be seem as an aberration, or something immoral.

Taxes wouldn't solve the problem, billionaires must be extinct.

In countries where people die from famine there are not a lot of rich people. High concentration of rich people is found in societies where people are not starving.

So you are right in saying that in a world of starvation rich people should be an aberration. That is to be expected.

Thousands of people die of malnutrition per year in the US.

We tried that in many parts of the world. It was called social realism, socialism and communism. It never worked out. There’s always a group of people who just don’t care and the rest is much worse off than in capitalism. So what do you do with those outliers?
