The problem with that mindset is that we know how it's going to end up: it's not only the 0.1% or 1% that are going to suffer the wealth tax. It's the 30%.
At first the "tax on billionaire" was supposed to be that: a tax on billionaires. But then there are already publications explaining how "taxing anyone who has more than a million (a million, not a billion) would bring x in revenue for the various countries".
Also note that it's never about distributing that money to the poor: it's always about the state getting more money. Money which is then spent in state-friendly companies.
For example the EU is hard at work now imposing a mandatory, EU-wide, tax on all its citizens to "finance EU projects". It's not a tax to give money to poor people. It's a tax to give money to companies like Thales and Airbus and a shitload of sycophantic companies that'd be bankrupt if not for the state' intervention.
Just look at how government are managing the insane money they get: do you think they're doing a good job when they're at, say, 130% debt-to-GDP ratio? Why would I want to encourage such irresponsible spenders by giving them even more?
When a country like France, which is badly in debt and has huge deficits, has about 60% of its GDP that is tied to public spending, it's not the fault of "the rich" if the country is not doing well. It's the fault of the people governing that country.
So, no, thanks but no thanks. I don't want any "let's tax the rich" discourse because I know that it's the middle-class, not the rich, that's going to end up getting owned.
Just like fighting the four horsemen of the infocalypse is an excuse used by the states to gain every more power, attacking the rich is an excuse for the state to gain ever more power. It's not about helping the poor.
