I support a wealth tax. I think a good starting point is a 1% tax on wealth above $10M and 3% on wealth above $100M.

I also support a more progressive income tax, say the tax rates of 1945, which had lower taxes on the lowest income people (even with FICA/SS taxes), and higher taxes for the highest incomes.

See the link below if you want to see what tax structures have been like in the past.

I agree, and it seems like such a commonsense (and proven!) approach that I can't help but think any opposition is simply from super wealthy people themselves or those they've managed to brainwash.
Or those they paid off to not bring it up as a bill/proposal
