the problem is people talk about paying for it through income tax and not a wealth tax.

If you look at wealth distribution, you look at how to slice enough off the top end to cover the bottom end.

I assume you are looking at the $50-100 trillion of theoretically seizable wealth in the United States. Unfortunately, not much of that is fungible due to the lack of buyers in that scenario.
