I'm one of that 0.1%, since my yearly salary is more than about USD90k. And my attached wealth is the most typical kind, too: my wife and I bought a place to live, which we haven't sold in the 20+ years since moving in. It probably could be sold for a fair bit more than we paid: untaxed wealth.

I suspect that we won't pay 100% tax on whatever we earn when we sell, if we sell, but if we were taxed 100% I'm sure something nice could be done with that money.

I'm quite impressed by the rhetorical skill here. It's easy to overlook that what they're saying is "by taxing something/someone 100%, it would be possible to...", ie. "If pigs would fly, it would be possible to..." and making it easy to overlook that takes real skill.
