100 years ago we just killed them and redistributed their wealth, which is part of what fixed the Great Depression.
Same goes for almost 200 years ago where the rich tried to use their power to separate from the union, and again we killed a ton of them and redistributed their wealth as punishment.

Wha? I thought Congress passed estate taxes starting in 1916, the robber barons didn’t live as long as today, so they died of old age and disease more-or-less like regular people.
I never heard of many of them being killed.
I’d be interested to hear more about patterns of killing.
