But why wage earners should support you by paying more taxes? Reduce your spending by 33% to keep up.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or a serious point.

Obviously people who have retired and based their entire life plan on making that work have many fewer options than those who are still working. You are arguing that nobody can plan for any kind of secure retirement, including you.

It depends on the net wealth we're discussing. I'm sorry if I touched someone who lives with $1M saving. But should I be sorry for someone with $10M, which might be way more than 30 years of lifetime earnings of p80 population? Wealth tax is obviously targeting the latter.

Having progressive tax rate might be a better way to discuss, instead of blaming whole points.
