      I asked if any wealth tax has been effective because I am unaware of any. The person who replied enthusiastically “yes” needs to back that because there could be an example I am unaware of. There is the possibility that I am wrong or mistaken.

      The only person acting in bad faith here is yourself. You should ask yourself why that’s the choice you made.
