If it serves a good purpose such as funding something that is worth it, but that is assuming there is no overspending somewhere else thay could be cut to meet the budget.
I also think we shouldn't target globalists with the tax. Whether somebody is for or against the open society should jot be a factor in determining tax rate.

My definition of a globalist isn’t someone with an opinion. I thought globalist and billionaire were synonymous.
but that is assuming there is no overspending somewhere else thay could be cut to meet the budget.
But where would the overspending be?

But where would the overspending be?
It's everywhere. $200 staples. $5000 chairs.
This is usually challenged by saying it is not most of spending, but why not cut out all wasted spending and then measure how much government is spending
Let's say overspending cannot be solved easily. I would still want the benefits of Taxing them to outweighs the negatives and generally it doesn't, unless the tax rate is literally zero percent or close to it
@wylted
Obviously a stapler shouldn’t cost $200. But why hasn’t this spending been cut already? And I find it hard to believe the government spends $5000 on a chair or $200 on a stapler. Republicans would cut the At to save taxes; democrats would cut it to give more money to the poor.

Under Finland’s “Day-Fine” system, an individual's income is a key determinant in the size of the fine they are subsequently issued with by law enforcement. Finland was the first Nordic nation to introduce the income-based “Day Fine” system in 1921, and several European nations have followed suit since.
Further, under the Finnish “Day-Fine” system, the more a driver is over a speed limit, the higher the number “day fines” received.
It is not the first speeding fine Wiklöf has been issued. He is reported to have previously been issued with a €63,000 fine in 2018 and, in 2013, he received a €95,000 fine -- together amounting to a grand total of €279,000 over the last decade.
Cutting military spending is something advocated by the left wing base, not the right wing base. Although both parties are bought out by the military industrial compelx.
