Money is a societal construct and as such it belongs to exactly the person society says it belongs to. That may not be the billionaire depending on the society.

Everything in society is a social construct, implicit or explicit. Right now the social construct that we have is that you get to keep the money you worked for after paying some taxes.

I do wonder if you could make something like the wealth tax work in the United States.

I'm willing to be educated.
