honestly no one will have the same as that would not work. it would be a combination of cash, land, stocks, etc. People could elect to keep things they have up to their share so they don't have to move or such. Ill be honest I threw it out as more an ideololized thing. Would rather we tax and regulate so that wealth accumulation became harder the more you have (rather than being harder till you hit escape velocity and it then being easier) and use tax to make sure their is a floor of folks being able to have essentials but given the question I threw this in as my choice.

Yes! Our only hope of digging out is to make the case for taxing the snot out of the rich. We can't all be rich, but a rising tide lifts all boats.
