This is what I would do if I were in power.

I'd do it differently.

I would fund a massive advertising campaign preaching equality, fairness, and cooperation

I would use the tax system to weaken the cycle of intergenerational wealth (the ultra wealthy spend borrowed money which is settled by their estate on death; I would tax bequests to banks; I would tax inheritances above a pretty high limit.

It would take time. The aim would be to have a much more level wealth distribution

Nah, fuck that. Dictatorship, right-wingers get treated Pinochet-style (eye for an eye) and if rich lobbyists try to make a mess, take their families as hostages. Fuck good manners.
