    Depends on what you mean by “wealth like that”. A 10% tax on everything he owns would be like 50% of his personal wealth.

    But yeah, we can definitely do better than 0%…

      Read that comment about three times and can’t figure out if that’s meant to be a bad thing? 50% of his personal wealth would leave still leave a absurdly huge sum of money.

      That doesn’t make any sense? 10% tax on all he owns is 10% of his personal wealth.
      Obviously all he owns = His personal wealth.

      But yeah, we can definitely do better than 0%

      Definitely, 1% should be a no-brainer, 2% would be better. 😀

        Personal wealth does not include investments and assets. That’s net worth.
