What %/yr is considered workable for a wealth tax?
0% is what most places seem to have today, and rewards infinite hoarding which clearly isn’t working well. But on the other end 100% seems like too much because it punishes all degrees of saving and planning. I imagine something in between those two, probably progressively bracketed?
Idk, I imagine people have thought about this – but I haven’t really read much about it?
