re: Warren’s 6% wealth tax is equivalent to an income tax of well over 100%

The tax is not on the income but on money a person already has in the bank. That is your WEALTH. So a billionaire would lose even moe, up to 60 million a year.
But that said, as I, recall many millions are left alone before it kicks in.

That depends on your total amount of wealth. Presuming you are a billionaire in net worth before taking into account the land, then you would pay 6 percent on the value of the land. (It would be 2 percent if net worth is just 50 million). You have no tax if you have lower net worth than 50 million
As previously mentioned, there would be constitutional issues. The SC has already ruled the Constitution doesn’t allow for direct taxation that is not apportioned among the States LINK to Pollock. The16th amendment solves this for income but not wealth
Moreover, there are practical problems. In the early years, state taxes were mostly all faculty taxes, but this created massive problems on valuation, avoidance and assessment. LINK SALT still has these problems with property taxes even when not based on faculty and we have learned ad valorem and income taxes are easier to administer

Do they work? Do they have $800 cell phones? Did they talk to a social worker about available funding options?
