You open up a lot of conversations here not related to wealth tax. The question is, do you think it is okay for a government to say "hey, we changed our mind and the money you have that we already have taxed we want to tax again". Besides this, are you okay with keeping people in perpetual wage slavery and force people to work until death. The income tax in the US was introduced only for the rich and was only like 2%? But now the taxes is well above 50% for most Americans. It is always a slippery slope.
- rnk 3y agoThis is no different than the property taxes ordinary home owners have to pay. People generally pay with money from their already taxed wages.
- the_gastropod 4y agoThe federal income tax rate is nowhere near 50% for anyone, much less most Americans.
- TigerTeamX 4y agodidn't say federal income tax. I said tax. Federal, state, municipality taxes. Now adding other things like rent tax etc.. Your steak is now 50% more expensive. If not more
- TheCoelacanth 4y agoStill nowhere close to 50% for anyone.
- tr_user 3y agowhat makes you think the money is already taxed? People are increasingly against inheritance taxes and the biggest predictor of whether someone is rich is whether their parents are rich
