I think this is kind of the least important part of the original diatribe to be focusing on. But if this is the most important takeaway for you and you really want to preserve your adulation of certain pro-wealth-tax politicians, I'll say that it's impossible to truly measure how incompetent or well intentioned politicians are, so we can only reason that based on there being a simpler solution that hasn't been tried and is less glamorous, either the politicians have not thought of this simple solution or are aiming for something more beneficial for their political careers. Or maybe there is some brilliant reasoning as to why it wouldn't work which is just so obvious to them that they never thought it worth mentioning?
