Property tax and inheritance tax can both be thought of as wealth tax, and are quite common. More general wealth taxes. Many European countries currently have or used to have more general wealth taxes. Lots of Americans support a general wealth tax. See Bernie Sanders.

I fail to see how wealth tax (my car and home is my wealth I suppose) going to 'reap' the automation advances. Please elaborate.

I fail to see how your example of basic requirements for normal life is wealth. Tax second and third homes, places with eleven bedrooms when the owners live elsewhere. People who own the robots that replace workers. Are you just trolling? This seems like a bad faith comment of unimaginable ignorance.

Comment I was replying is about wealth, article and my original comment are about automation. Yet somehow you are now talking about 11 bedrooms somehow. Anyways...

People have been brainwashed into thinking that normal requirements for living somewhere are investments
