A Further Point Against Sam Harris's "Net Worth" Tax
In fact, the larger this tax is, the larger the range of values that will destroy wealth in order to avoid being over the threshold of the tax: Anybody whose total wealth percentage that is over the threshold is less then the percentage rate of the tax will have reason to destroy that wealth that is over that threshold. The larger the tax, the more people who will fall into this range and the more economic harm it will do.
For Comparison's sake, consider what would happen if the tax were 100%. Obviously, a person would ditch all money that went over the threshold. Understanding this limiting condition should help to clarify my point.
