As if the wealthy have never thought of ways to hide their money... The best you'll do is tax those who are actually turning up to get a salary. Ie you will tax people who arguably might be producing something, as opposed to the inter-generational, rent-seeking families that own so much of our world. If you ask me, and you accept overt governmental control of everything, the best thing to do would be a system of openess about ownership, so that ownership of everything can be seen by everyone - with no murky legal instruments. If you have the information about who owns what - and everything is owned by people, individuals, even if they hide behind legal and corporate instruments - you can then consider addressing what would be an equitable may to proceed. My guess would be that something ludicrously minor like a 10% wealth tax on the top 0.01% of wealth owners, would cover us indefinitely.
