    Eliminating the super-rich as a goal is not compatible with democratic principles and the rule of law, which protect individual rights and freedoms.

    What type of elimination are we talking about here? Jail? Exile? Execution? Or just having their excess wealth taken away, so they are no longer super-rich?

    Being extremely wealthy is, by itself, not a crime. But it would not be unreasonable to tax all income (or even wealth) above a large threshold at 50%, or even 90%. This would ‘eliminate’ the super-rich while not physically harming or punishing them.
