i disagree that taxation on income/wealth amounts to an attack on income/wealth.
i think we need far more tax brackets. right now, the highest bracket for people filing jointly is 612k and up. i think its absurd to tax a household earning 700k at the same rate that you would tax a household earning 70 mil per year.
i think a wealth tax on extreme wealth is a good idea. policy generally incentivizes what is considered "good behavior." its why you get certain tax benefits when you get married, and its why charitable donations can be written off. we recognize that marriage provides stability, and that giving to charity is good, so the government treats it as such in the tax code. similarly we shouldnt be incentivizing people to just sit on massive hordes of money (warren's proposal is for people who have 50 mil or more of wealth). better to have that money circulated and stimulate the economy. and taking 2% of your wealth that exceeds 50 mil is going to have zero impact on your standard of living, so in the scheme of things, its no skin off your back tbh
people should absolutely be allowed to and incentivized to save money (see my earlier point above) but when you reach those 10s of millions, it no longer serves that purpose.
