Replying to @paulg
There is no serious wealth tax proposal that I know of (please correct me if I'm wrong) that is not a marginal tax over a certain amount. It is misleading and a bit fear-mongering to write an essay that implies there is such a proposal out there.

In the Netherlands the threshold appears to be only 30k euros. That's very close to not being a marginal tax. And that is not merely a proposal, but current law.

I'm writing about the effect of wealth taxes generally, not just about some proposals made in the US this year. Obviously it's implicit that if a wealth tax has a threshold, then the percentage taken by the government will be a percentage over the threshold.
