I would vote for this if all it did was like money on the ground and burn it. Any dollar they don’t have is a dollar that they’re not screwing me over with inflated asset prices.

Wealth taxes target accumulated wealth. If you’re trying to reduce income inequality that is the only possible measure that will help - aside from the longer term of estate taxes. Taxing income only slows the accumulation - which doesn’t actually matter if someone is already sitting on a mountain of wealth, and like Elon, using it to attack democratic society.
