A wealth tax is way superior to the income tax, flat or otherwise.

We disagree profoundly. While an income tax is bad because it penalizes productivity, a wealth tax penalizes both productivity and thrift and is thus worse. I'd prefer a retail sales tax as our main source of funding, but that's a very long way off because it removes government's power over social engineering.
