Most assets might be illiquid but that's not the same thing as most billionaire's assets being illiquid, and I said, we can create a wealth tax that doesn't have that problem. Particularly, if you look at the tech billionaires I'd wager none of them are primarily invested in real estate. Hell, if you want to be simple about it, you can just take whatever proportion you want to take and auction it. There are obviously difficulties with valuations, but that doesn't make it impossible to have a wealth tax. Take Bezos, we can just take whatever proportion of AMZN stock he has, take the market value, and calculate the proportion to be handed over. The thing you seem to be missing about a wealth tax is that it's not about taxing $17.02 or $17.03. It's about taxing $7Bn, and if you only get £6bn this year, well you're going to get more next year. It's so aggressively redistributive that the details actually don't matter as much as you expect.
