I'm not sure about this. I think soaking the rich is likely more viable (at least in popular vote terms) than a regressive tax like land value. Middle class people will at certain points in their life have over 100% of their net worth in land (perhaps even 1000% if they can barely afford a 5% down mortgage for a property that is half structure half land). Meanwhile profiles for the ultra-wealthy are typically 13% real estate. Taxing one person on 1000% of their wealth and one person on 13% of their wealth is nothing like a wealth tax.
