    Literally false. Several countries even literally ruled them unconstitutional, lol.

    The only countries that still have a “wealth tax” do not have a tax that’s aimed at the wealthiest individuals, which is what you guys want, and what you think it’ll accomplish–instead, they’re broadened so much that they’re just ‘ordinary’ taxes that are no more ‘focused’ on the wealthiest than any other, making the whole thing redundant/pointless.

      OK, I see the weird place you’re coming from. Carry on, I guess. I’ll just block and move on.
