Tax laws are a good way to equalise wealth, if they're used for that purpose (e.g. taxing property, especially when its ownership is excessive and/or detrimental to others; taxing excessive wealth , e.g. by placing negative interest on money so that it devalues over time... how that money would move!).
Plus, it would be nicer, I think, to do it without bloodshed.
There's a reason why violent revolutions and violent politics lead to yet more violence (and inequality, as you say).
