I believe there ought to be a tax on the wealth of the super rich.

Great idea. We'll start by visiting your house first. We need 50% of your wealth to meet our needs.

No need to visist my house as I am not part of the super rich. However can you name a billionaire who is not a liberal democrat? Both Gates and Buffett testified against the removal of the inheritance tax. Why? So that owners of closely held companies worth maybe $10 million dollars a year but cash flowing 200 to 400k per year have to sell their businesses at distressed rates in order to pay the tax.

No don't come to my house, go to the houses of the super wealthy first. (by the way the concept of super wealthy is different that high income.)
