6% is roughly 1/16th. That’s a pretty steep drop in total wealth.

Re: 6% asset tax

The inflation and tax adjusted return on the SP 500 (all dividends reinvested) for the last 90 years is about 7% per year.

Since 90% of investment professionals UNDERPERFORM the SP 500 over any given 10 year period, an annual 6% asset tax is literally insane.

Speaking of micro-returns on your money, did you know that a “lepton” is (was) 1/100th of a Greek drachma?

The Greeks use the Euro now, no more drachmas.

Anyway - I like your screen name “lepton,” which, as I recall, commonly refers to irreducible particles like electrons and neutrinos.
