    2-6% is a joke when the rest of the population is paying >25% up to 50% or more in some places.

      If you would have read the article, you would have noticed it’s a wealth tax, not an income or gains tax.

        What does that matter? 2% of a billion is 20 million. Do you seriously think their wealth doesn’t grow by at least 20 million a year? Do you think their wealth doesn’t grow by more than 2% every year? It should not be growing, it should be diminishing!

        I’ll repeat myself: 2-6% is a fucking joke.

        To be fair though, it’s not nothing (unlike the USA). They have to start somewhere, I’ll give 'em that.
