In the Netherlands, all assets over €21K (roughly $28K) are taxed at 1.2 %. This includes cash, bonds, stocks, real estate held for investment, paintings held as investments; everything that is not for personal use (so cars and yachts are not included, nor are second homes for personal use).

Yes it is preposterous.
