Read my comment - it is completely irrelevant to the discussion being had about the linked article, and no one on the planet is suggesting a 20% wealth tax. That is my point. | ||

The argument was that it was ludicrous to say a wealth tax of x percent > income tax of x percent in actual impact, yes? It is clearly the case if you try to apply the income tax rate as a wealth tax using concrete real world examples. Even a 3% property tax makes it very difficult for many normal people to own those assets in many real world economic circumstances. | ||
