The wealthy pay far less in taxes in proportion to their wealth than everyone else. Long term capital gains is only 10%.
The wealthy are only wealthy because the non-wealthy people who vastly outnumber the wealthy, allow them to keep their capital. I think massive wealth inequality is making a significant number of people rethink this generous position.

Even if it doesn't devalue, you can't use it until you dispose of it, incurring additional tax. > The wealthy are only wealthy because the non-wealthy people who vastly outnumber the wealthy, allow them to keep their capital. The wealthy can afford better weaponry than you. Are you alive only because they allow you to live? > rethink this generous position Do you think you are entitled to something just because you could (forcibly) take it?
