Billionaires are the problem, not our neighbours to the South.
So, let's target billionaires with a 30% tax on any transaction by any financial instrument (company, investment vehicle, etc) that's more than 2.5% owned by a billionaire.
It's not even a usurious tax: it's exactly the same as Apple takes.
Not owned by a billionaire? No tax. Easy.
