Weird comments not withstanding, a fairly modest plan. It really should be a larger tax, as wealth grows exponentially.

Interesting that the unit of denomination for these people is "family." Raises all kinds of connotations for these freaks, from mafia to incest.
Go ahead downvote me, buddy. I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in fuckin Dune.
I do not have words for how evil this is. Everyone involved in this plan needs to be lawfully tried for their crimes.

Could taxing wealth potentially result in even more consumption as spending results in having less wealth to tax?
Maybe Brazil should start by focusing on logging in the Amazon.
