demofks never listen to facts.The rich are paying a wealth tax on their real estate, but the rich are different from you and I, most of their wealth does not come from land. Larry Ellison is a good example.First, the rich are paying the same property taxes as everyone else. They paying that "wealth tax" as you put it.
Bloomberg estimates Ellison's total fortune at just under $81 billion.
His real estate holdings range from Malibu to Rhode Island to owning 98% of the Hawaiian island of Lanai, yet they total less than $6 billion.
Unlike the vast majority of Americans, Larry's paying a wealth tax on about 7.5% of his net worth.

Income is not wealth.
It is typical of partisans to ignore the meanings of words in their propaganda.
Wealth is net worth not income.
