True but you also didn't acknowledge the answer I gave you, which looked like you were obstinately in favour of the policy. But I should have added that a tax on unrealized capital gains as part of a wealth tax that kicks in at a high wealth level would be much less of a disincentive.

Give what's happening in the US, any debate on taxing the wealthy should include the question of whether billionaires are a danger to democracy and the rights of citizens.

This started with me responding to a billionaire about his comments on how to best tax oligarchs and billionaires wealth, but maybe you missed that and jumped to conclusions instead. In that context, the answer you gave didn't make much sense, hence why I didn't acknowledge it as valid.
