If your retirement account has $100,000,000 in it, it needs to be taxed. Tax capital gains income like regular income and put some progressively higher tax brackets back, a progressive wealth tax, progressive taxes for homes worth more than a certain amount, and higher rates for second, third, etc homes, and hell, maybe even tax unrealized gains over a certain amount.
