s/cherry picking/showing an example with interesting properties that is different from France/g
So this is actually where the discussion should go: What properties does the Swiss wealth tax have (particularly in the wider taxation system) that the French wealth tax did not have?
What is needed for a wealth tax to have no negative effects? What about income and capital gains tax at the same time? Etc. etc.
I am not trying to make an argument pro wealth taxes, I am trying to make an argument against shallow and non-empirical arguments.
