"2. A wealth tax would be hard / impossible to implement."
This is the standard excuse for stopping any thoughts of changes in the US. Let's not even think about improvements because they are impossible anyway. A sane health care system is impossible, doing something about rising wealth inequality isn't possible, reducing opioid deaths is impossible. The only things that seem possible are things to move even more money into the hands of wealthy people. I still remember how in 2008 Congress quickly was able to produce 750 billion when the banks and the banker's money was threatened.
