We really need to vote for a person who will legally grab the wealth of those who have a lot and give it to the poor.

There wont be 100% tax rate, but should be close enough.

Living in poverty is the worst thing that can happen, so government must prevent such situations.

It's nowhere near close enough. 100% tax rate, plus indentured servitude for reparations.

So you want Robin Hood to run for President?

Now you are talking communism, I agree we should increase taxes on the rich substantially, but within reason.  In most cases, the rich got rich in the first place by working contributing more to the economy, productivity, innovation, creativity, job creation, etc...if you take away the financial incentives for people to be more productive the economy loses, what you end up with is more poor people, not less.

Living in poverty is the worst thing that can happen, so government must prevent such situations.
Our economy provides for public assistance to the poor, it should be tied to incentives to become more productive, work, etc.  A system that doesn't incent the poor, and dis-incents the rich, is a recipe for economic disaster.

Anyone willing to take from the rich and help the poor is good enough, maybe 98% tax rate.

Its like mowing the lawn when some grass gets too big.

We can tax the rich at 100% PLUS force them to pay reparations. The incentive will be hunger.

Only if they pay reparations. That means a 100% wealth tax and indentured servitude.

This sounds like a talking point of the radical-far-alt-right.

Get ready for the US economy to contract by a third overnight as mass capital flight sets in. Get ready for all foreign investment in the US to dry up, and for all highly skilled, highly paid workers to leave the country and live and work abroad, leaving behind only average people who don't know how to maintain the public and private sector infrastructure needed to keep an advanced economy afloat.

Actually, the economy will increase by 2000%. This is because super rich use their money to destroy competition and small buisnesses.

If the program is tax the rich and give it to the poor and you tax the rich at 100%, then they become poor, and you just have to give it back to them.

Clearly, the rich have gotten lucky enough in life, be it genetics or nurturing to make the best use of a bad situation. They of all people can handle hunger without assistance.

You can still eliminate the rich with fascism. It's just harder.
