They already do. 50% of all Federal Income Taxes are paid by the
top 1% of income
earners.

But they own 90% of the wealth

They contribute no bodies for war

False on its face.

Look at the number of Veterans who sit at the top of that wealth.

They contribute to no policy or acts which make society better

Also false on its face. Look at the number of Congresspersons who
served. Compare that number to the number of wealthy in the
Congress, and when you compare THAT number to the number of
Democrats in Congress, you see that the preponderance of private
wealth in the hands of Congress persons is primarily in the hands of
Democrats, as substantial number of which who served.

You may want to actually look at the facts before you assert
'fairness' in your plunder of private wealth.
