If they Make Billionaires Pay Higher Taxes, won't the Billionaires just make Customers Pay More?

Now, I immediately see something I'm getting "wrong" about that; the quantity being taxed is not 'Billionaires-Wages,' but their Wealth (i.e. not 'the money they get from their company's sale of products-&-services every so-often,' but 'the money they get from "having been born to people who had money & who taught them how the money grows into more money through loans' usury/interest/etc."') But I worry. The question that incites my worry: "Do you think the billionaires are going to lower their 'standard-of-living' even ONE IOTA because of this tax?" I don't think they're gonna have to; and--if the tax DOES start eating into their standard-of-living--they'll make it up by charging 'the 99%' with higher prices! Or do you think they'll lower their living-standards for the good of the economy?

I am not sure how taxes on your country is being computed but if that is the system in yoir country , the middle wage earners are in a way having problems in paying their taxes if they will follow how the billionaires pay. In our country we have this system that will identify how much tax a person will pay. Though Im not that sure how it is done here but , in your country if thats how it goes oh no hahaha and Im surprised Mr .Zuckerberg is on the 3rd , .
