"In 2018, Bill Gates was worth roughly $97 billion. If Warren’s tax had been in place since 1982, Gates would have been worth just $36.4 billion, according to Saez and Zucman. Under the Sanders tax plan, Gates’ net worth would be a comparatively tiny $9.9 billion."

They make my point. All this wealth would have come from Gates’ investments, and we would all be that much poorer.
