Note I'm very specifically talking about the meta topic of how we talk about wealth tax and how often people get distracted from actually enacting a wealth tax by being made to debate options. Another thing that acts to avoid enacting a wealth tax is shifting the discussion to optimising _other_ taxes. It seems emminently sensible to suggest you have to find the "right" answer before doing anything and to bring up all the other related issues. All this acts to keep the status quo.
