      I asked if any wealth tax has been effective because I am unaware of any. The person who replied enthusiastically “yes” needs to back that because there could be an example I am unaware of. There is the possibility that I am wrong or mistaken.

      The only person acting in bad faith here is yourself. You should ask yourself why that’s the choice you made.

          Im typically not inclined to cede credibility regarding economic claims to any non-academic source regarding economics. Who is TLDR?

          edit: There’s zero reason to accept theor analysis as none of them are economists or have a background in the field. This is just a misplaced Appeal to Authority.
