Why is it so hard to understand the concept of a floor? If we only tax wealth above $10m or $100m, it will literally never result in "all of your wealth" disappearing.

Right. We support it, but we don't do anything about it, even though it causes one of the most obvious policy problems in the state.

Like literally every other state? I'm sorry, no. This comment is internally logically inconsistent, ignores obvious examples to the contrary, and asserts itself as its own proof.
