I think a lot of people believe that there's an endless amount of idle wealth out there, which the government could potentially confiscate and put to good use.

"Also this point made in another thread: To confiscate all their wealth means taking their companies, houses, yachts, property, and investments. Those would have to be sold to convert to cash to pay for government expenses. There would be no buyers and no one to run the companies, which would lose value or go out of business, creating hundreds of thousands of unemployed and no money to run the government."
