I've stated several times, in this thread... I don't believe that anyone should be deprived of property for living another year. There are plenty of points of interaction, travel, exchange, buying, spending, trade that can be taxed. I've been against property taxes for a very long time.

You keep repeating it, like you think saying it ends the argument. The problem that people are trying to address is wealth inequality. They want something that affects the rich more than everyone else - more than linearly. The problem with all your "points of interaction" is that they don't do that. They especially don't touch someone who has 10 billion dollars and just sits on it - leaves it invested in the same thing, maybe for decades, and doesn't spend nearly in proportion to their wealth. What do you have to say to the people who are trying to address wealth inequality, other than just repeating that you don't think they should do that? Do you have anything that might actually make them change their minds?
