I think you're correct in how you're characterizing the general consensus around wealth tax - that people should be taxed based on all accumulated wealth, including unrealized gains. I don't know how practical that is. I think an approach that frames it as 100% capital gains and/or marginal income tax rate on equivalent to the first 2-3% of your total gross wealth is more workable.
