The exact amount to tax the wealth of the super rich, and the level of wealth it should kick in at, matters less right now than doing *something*. Endless arguments about it being 1% , 2% or 5% etc or start above £10m, £100m, or £1b etc just act to stop any wealth tax from happening. And that works to keep the richest gaining an ever larger share of everything.

It is interesting that the richest people often don't want others to know how much they have, and say that it'd be so difficult to set up systems to find that out, but also pay quite a bit of attention to things like The Sunday Time's Rich List to see where they rank.
