This is a silly thought experiment to point out that billionaires do not earn their own wealth, and you treat it like it's proposed as an actual economic plan for the whole country?

Why not? What about it being a silly thought experiment invalidates wanting to look closer at it?

Because it is specifically NOT an economic plan. At all. It's a basic concept that would have to be fleshed out in order to even have an actual mechanism to test. Eminent domain is silly, because very, very few people want billionaires' wealth going to the government.

Billionaires do not earn their wealth. That's the through line.
