3. Not saying we should do this while Donnie is president. It's a campaign issue to regain power.

If it somehow happened while he was in the White House, he would either kill it or steal credit. Either way the media would ruin it for us.

Seoarately, we should rein in billionaires. Wealth taxes, restrictions on political spending, remove the social security cap, minimum tax rate, etc. but those tend not to make good campaign issues, so best not to dwell on this stuff until we have the power.
