"Confiscatory" Wealth Tax.
Argentina Approves "Confiscatory" Wealth Tax On Millionaires

In an early glimpse of what wealth redistribution will look among developed nations in coming years, on Wednesday the lower house of Argentina's Congress approved a bill seeking to raise 300 billion pesos ($3.75 billion) through a tax on the ultra rich to finance programs aimed at helping families hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Re: "Confiscatory" Wealth Tax.
I've got no qualms about taxing the ultra-wealthy in the UK, especially where they have generational wealth built on direct theft from the masses.

In the UK, all land used to be shared evenly between everyone, so you could build your hut, grow you food and not have to pay taxes, rent or mortgage etc.

Then, between the 1400s and 1800s, friends of the aristocracy were given titles and land to go with that. The land they received was literally taken from under the feet of the people, and all of a sudden they had to pay rent and taxes to the new robber barons.

The descendants of these families still live on that land and bask in its wealth this very day. If they get taxed out of the arsehole, I have no problem with that. I would go one step further and give common land back to the people so we can all have our own little piece of property to call our own.

I don't agree with over-taxing people who have built their fortune on the back of honest hard work - that just leads to a brain drain and lack of entrepreneurial spirit.

Re: "Confiscatory" Wealth Tax.
The problem is the rich or top of the hierarchy derives all that they have from the poor or bottom of the hierarchy.

When the demand by the top becomes greater than the bottom can supply the hierarchy collapses.

There is a maximum potential for the productive members of the hierarchy or the net producers to sustain the consumptive members of the hierarchy or the net consumers.

80% of the employed members of most hierarchies of the world are net consumers of resources while 20% are net producers of resources.

Meaning 2 out of 10 are taxed to sustain the other 8 out of 10.

A large proportion of you all are net consumers of resources.

"The Pareto principle states that for many outcomes roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of the causes (the “vital few”). Other names for this principle are the 80/20 rule, the law of the vital few, or the principle of factor sparsity"

"The Pareto distribution, named after the Italian civil engineer, economist, and sociologist Vilfredo Pareto, is a power-law probability distribution that is used in description of social, quality control, scientific, geophysical, actuarial, and many other types of observable phenomena. Originally applied to describing the distribution of wealth in a society, fitting the trend that a large portion of wealth is held by a small fraction of the population. The Pareto principle or "80-20 rule" stating that 80% of outcomes are due to 20% of causes was named in honour of Pareto, but the concepts are distinct."

Current break down in Argentina.

agriculture: 10.8%
industry: 28.1%
services: 61.1%

10.8 + 28.1 = 38.9% = net producers
61.1% = net consumers

61.1% of the population are sustained by a tax upon the other 38.9%

"The country has its roots in Spanish colonization of the region during the 16th century. Argentina rose as the successor state of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, a Spanish overseas viceroyalty founded in 1776. The declaration and fight for independence (1810–1818) was followed by an extended civil war that lasted until 1861, culminating in the country's reorganization as a federation of provinces with Buenos Aires as its capital city. The country thereafter enjoyed relative peace and stability, with several waves of European immigration, mainly Italians and Spaniards, radically reshaping its cultural and demographic outlook; 62.5% of the population has full or partial Italian ancestry, and the Argentine culture has significant connections to the Italian culture."

Italy break down.

agriculture: 2.1%
industry: 24%
services: 73.9%

2.1 + 24 = 26.1% = net producers
73.9% = net consumers

Spain break down

agriculture: 2.6%
industry: 23.2%
services: 74.2%

25.8% = net producers
74.2% = net consumers

USA break down

agriculture: 0.9%
industry: 19.1%
services: 80%

20% = net producers
80% = net consumers

United Kingdom

agriculture: 0.8%
industry: 20.2%
services: 79%

21% = net producers
79% = net consumers

France

agriculture: 1.7%
industry: 19.5%
services: 78.8%

Contributing members

1.7 + 19.5 = 21.2% = net producers or productive members of society

78.8% = net consumers or consumptive members of society.

The amazing part as well is how governments of the world keep you all basically equally ignorant.

They don’t have clean drinking water or sewage treatment in many parts of Africa, but libtards are willing to spend fortunes on global warming while the most deadly and easily curable disease in the world, dysentery, kills millions. Those people are evil.

Re: "Confiscatory" Wealth Tax.
I favor a confiscatory tax on the transgenerational transfer of wealth capping it at $50mn.

I do not favor suppressing the creative force of business acumen simply limiting the transfer of economic and political
power to future generations.

Capping wealth at $50mn is not exactly throwing someone out on the street penniless!

Re: "Confiscatory" Wealth Tax.
people with more than $2.5 million in net worth - over 10,000 individuals - will make an "Extraordinary Solidarity Payment,"paying a one-off 2% flat tax. The tax would increase progressively as equity increases, under the proposal.

"The level of concentration of wealth, in a few hands, is so strong that this contribution falls on less than 0.02 percent of the population," said government deputy Fernanda Vallejos during debate. "About half of what is collected will be contributed by only 252 people, those who are at the top of the pyramid."


TWO PERCENT?! How do they expect these people to survive?!

Chuckle

According to AFP, between 9,000 and 12,000 people fall into that bracket in Argentina, a country with 40.9% of its 44 million inhabitants currently living in poverty. Unemployment stands at just over 10%, with the economy still yet to overcome a recession that began in 2018. Things have only worsened after the coronavirus pandemic, and the IMF estimates GDP will contract by 11% this year.
