    Wealth taxes are unconstitutional in the United States. It would require an amendment to change that.

    Capital gains should just be taxed an ordinary income. That would solve a lot of issues such as Medicare, social security, etc.

        Not sure who those people are but they don’t seem well versed on the topic.

        If you haven’t read the most recent SCOTUS ruling. It foreshadows their views on the topic. SCOTUS determines want is constitutional.

        There hs enough case law from scotus to point to wealth taxes as being unconstitutional
