if you make $100,000,001 under a 100 million wealth tax at 1%, you pay $.01, not $1,000,000.01 so there is no point trying to stay under 100 million.

Further, a flat wealth tax has immense inefficiency in that it forces people with $100s or $1000s of dollars to their name to calculate their wealth for a $1-$100 payout to the government rather than do something productive with their time.
