If he's not advocating for more taxation, great. That wasn't my impression.
But in general, I find the idea of kindness via coercion to be very problematic, so even if there's no change in taxation the rhetoric is troubling.

Oh yea true, I forgot that he is going to raise taxes for the top 1-5% richest I think.
Anyway, I do understand the idea - whenever things are forced, we don’t like it and also makes us dislike things that indirectly cause this forcing (poverty, inequality, food subsidies, etc etc ) and thus reduces kindness in the world.
But also, as long as the concept/tool of “taxation” exists as a system balancing act, guys like him are needed.
Discussions to usurp forcing tools completely from our systems is a different topic - this has been my main point that we should not misplace our disappointments or anger.
