Anybody remember that rich dude who built a submarine against every single convention and over the screaming shouting objections of literally every other person alive who's built submarines, who then tried to go to the Titanic and killed himself and four other people?

How about Musk who bought a successful if mid-tier social media site for 44 billion dollars and has cratered it to being worth barely 4?

How about Zuck who renamed his entire damn company in a bid to pivot to the metaverse just in time for that entire house of cards to come crashing down?

Say it with me: Wealth. Tax. Wealth. Tax. Wealth. Tax.

I suspect the sole purpose of ideas like wealth tax is to point out undiscerning left leaning voters.

You know, the people whose mental model of "the rich" comes from scrooge mcduck - wealth being mostly stored in gold coins that are easy to dive into and/or tax on annual basis.
