I understand your point and was responding directly. That is, I don't think you're point is supported. The cutoff is far above what she makes. For her to pay anything significant she'd have to have a net worth well above $100

It's only a tax on wealth above $50m. If she ever reaches that level of net worth, I highly doubt she'd have trouble paying a 2% tax on it. The 1935 Revenue Tax was essentially a wealth tax and it brought great levels of prosperit
