Car tax and land tax are two very common existing wealth taxes. I wonder why they are rarely described as a wealth tax.

- glogla 7y agoI think it's because they people you normally think of as "wealthy" don't have most of their property in the form of house or car - only the poor or the shrinking middle class that's the case.
- skitout 7y agoCar and land cost money for the state, you get a "direct service" from your tax. And wealthy people have lower rate (compared to their revenue and wealth) than the average Joe Here we talk about a tax without a "direct service" associated... but that would be paid only by the wealthy, not by the average Joe
