I’m saying it isn’t a class of people that is not of their own volition. It could be looked at as similar to choosing the class of rapist or other criminal. By choosing to allow your wealth to exceed this point, society has deemed you to be in violation of the law; due process intact. You are therefore, no longer protected by the police, fire departments, emergency rooms, etc. It is one of the primary roles of society to determine what is acceptable and what is not.

You don't have to base it on your own situation, you can base it on cost of living or other objective values.

There's a big difference between 1 million and 10 million. With a modest 5% return on investment, 1 million nets you $50,000 per year, which is enough to support a very modest lifestyle in some places (near poverty in others). 10 million with the same investment nets $500,000 per year, which is more than enough to retire to a very luxurious lifestyle and accumulate more wealth along the way.

And that's still less than the 14.5 million I proposed, so that person would still not see any wealth tax.

No it’s based on a ton of actual hard statistics that focus on relative buying power vs what the state supplies. Many Europeans who make less than I do have a higher QoL than I do because their education and healthcare are subsidized/free.

It’s vastly different. A net worth of ten million plus isn’t just a case where you own a home and a retirement fund.

It's wildly different.

$1 million invested at 5% is $50,000 annually. $10 million invested at 5% is $500,000 annually.

That's the difference between the working and wealth classes.
