One possible wrong response to @mhoye that I've seen many times: "But that money isn't in *cash*, it just represents control of capital"

Yes, that's the point. Control of capital *is* the power to direct what people do, and to influence public policy. The power to block democratic use of resources.

That's what a #WealthTax does: take away that power from any single person.

To free the space for the *people* to more freely choose what to do with their resources.
