Last time I ran the numbers, we could liquidate all the wealth on the planet, an hand out about $36000 to everyone.
What happens then? Do we punish the guy who somehow ends up with $36001?

Wealth tax is not a punishment and it is only to people who have upwards of 50 or 500 million. You asking about someone with $36,000 is not honest.

How is it not a punishment?

1. They are still billionaires even after the get taxed. Elon would still be the richest man in the world.
2. They are that rich because people provide them labor and the government has infact given them subsidies from our tax money
3. since they avoid taxes now, it is simply getting from them what the actually already owe
4. Lifting up the poor is supposed to also allow the poor to buy more teslas and amazon so....
