The point is not that white collar crime enforcement is good, the point is that he was trying to show more wealth rather than less.
Therefore, a wealth tax would either raise money or discourage a form a fraud. It's a win either way.
If the wealth tax goes after real estate, folks just won’t put their name on it directly and voila, good luck.
This is also despite those alleged shenanigans being hamhanded and pretty obviously done and by probably the most well know and controversial ‘wealthy person’ in current society, enforcement still not only didn’t work, it still hasn’t actually been enforced. And is surrounded by massive controversy and legal BS and will probably drag on for another decade.
It’s like pointing to OJ Simpson’s murder trial as an example of swift and non-controversial justice that supports your legal policy?
