Pros :
> Rich people (>10 millions £) continue to accumulate assets, making life really hard for families
> This kind of stuff already happened several times in history (see Gracchi brothers agrarian reforms), nothing new under the sun
> It's relatively easy to implement as this targets real estate or British mortgages (insert *my country* instead of Britain)

Cons :
> What's supposed to be a "wealth tax" on families with more than 10 millions of net assets will have a threshold of 9 millions the next year, 8 millions the year after ... and 50£ in 15 years
> Still no clear explanation of how this is supposed to be redistributed. Agrarian reforms were straighforward : land taken from the patricians and given to soldiers. Here we'll have a complex system to channel money into a dark hole without any material redistribution of the houses

A wealth tax is the only thing that will restore quality of life and birthrates. Anyone against it is-you know.

There is something so incredibly broken with our current system, hard work doesn't pay, but having tons of money pays.

The land value tax is about the only way this might end up working, but even then the value of the land itself is hard to ascertain, which means it could end up backfiring. Likely, the only real way out of this is a restriction on landlordism, and deregulation to promote construction and economic growth.

why should people who earned their money by providing service have to pay more for people who are incapable? socialism and communism is just bullshit ideology that punishes people who are smarter and better with money.

It will redistribute money from rich people to the government, the biggest argument against this tax is the current government; they've already implemented lots of new taxes or put them higher to punish being rich or lucky (inheritance tax), the other argument is that it discourages anyone from attempting to become rich i.e. see recently where all the rich people have disappeared from the country.

So really, it depends, if you like socialism a lot this is great because the state will get to vacuum up more money and redistribute it to friends of the party. If you like personal property or owning your own shit, well, tough shit you need to cough up the money to Sultan Abdul Mohammad of Hilton Hotel recently arrived yesterday.

it has to happen. if it doesn't, they are going to keep pushing for infinite migration. wealthy people have the most to gain from flooding countries with immigrants
they own housing, hotels, companies that provide various goods and services. all of these directly benefit from immigration by raising prices, and funneling money from tax payers to the state, who gives it to immigrants by paying for all their needs, so it ends up in wealthy peoples pockets
but government reform has to happen at the same time, or nothing will be gained. it will just disappear in other rich peoples pockets

I'll believe it when I see it, the rich people subsidise the poor and though some have self-deported to avoid the many taxes here, it's not had any effect on ground. Looks like a fancy new tax for the government to buy itself time.

There is no "investment", we're not in the 40s. "Rich people" are just buying the S&P and houses.

Good.
Their wealth(assets) are whats being taxed, not their existence.
They're not gonna move the fucking houses now are they, retard?
The whole fucking point of taxing these parasites isn't for "gibs" it's to get them to sell their assets back into the market instead of hoarding it and collecting rents.

>why should people who earned their money by providing service
As the guy in OP pic always says.... Ask yourself why, despite a much higher tax rate on the wealthy, middle class nobodies back in the day had it better? Average job but car, house, wife, kids, pension. Not talking wealthy but just average postman or factory worker had all that shit.
Now? Sure way lower progressive tax on the wealthy and...... Forget owning a home.. People can barely cover rent and basic bills working full time average jobs. Birthrates drop being nobody can afford kids.
What exactly has the vast majority of us, like ninety five to ninety eight plus of us gained from lower and lower taxes on the wealthy for decades??
