It only works when that money goes to the right place. With all the corruption in Gotham, that money probably goes straight into the politicians bank accounts.

Unfortunately Bruce is really poor. Everything he uses day-to-day belongs to a foundation on the Caymans, whose owners are not known. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Cannot tax that guy.
In Batman's defence, he doesn't decide the tax policies and I'm pretty sure he is already an avid philanthropist and political donator for anti-poverty policy.

Im gonna say that this is why Batman Forever is my favorite Batman movie. There is this scene where the badguys rip a bank vault out of the wall, and by the end of the scene batman uses an explosive to have fly back into place. My point is, Batman needs to take place in a pulpy hyper reality, or he goes from a Doc Savage in a cool costume to a mentally insane Billionaire karate chopping poor people because as punishment.
Also, in that movie, they took pains to portray him as a "Good" ceo.
I just think this is an issue of tone and presentation.
Absolutely this. Ever since Nolan, we've been getting grimmer, darker, more "realistic" reboots of the character as directors try to figure out what Batman would look like in the real world. Burton and Schumacher asked the much funner question of, "What kind of crazy nonsense world worships a vigilante in a furry suit?"
that is why i love the gothic tone of Tim Burton, it is a Hallucinogenic reality with grotesque characters
3% wealth tax would be better still
Note that the tax exempt amount of $10 million is chosen such that 99% of people have less than that net wealth. It's supposed to guarantee a strong democratic support.
I.e. the 99-percent-quantile of net wealth is about $10 million in the US. (or at least it was in 2019 when i looked at the statistics)

Lol .... but a fancy custom made billion dollar armored car, motorcycle, jet boat and jet aircraft is more sexy and looks more powerful.
Do his taxes have plot armor?
