That's why I put a disclaimer in parentheses. I was responding to the claim that a wealth tax would result in unchanged or higher income, which is patently false. My answer to getting some sort of "benefit" is programs like corn subsidies, which are not democratic, and are one cause of the obesity epidemic in the US, because corn syrup is shoved into anything and everything, fed to animals, etc. Again, not arguing against the wealth tax, just the assumptions behind taxation that are being made.
