Yes, the only thing that genuinely scares the rich is wealth taxes.

It is next to impossible to hide the fact that someone owns something like real estate

In addition to real estate I might consider other property such as bank accounts, at least above a certain threshold. Presumably that cash has to be invested somewhere (or should be encouraged to do so)

If we could get a real wealth tax, I would do away with income taxes like some states have done (i.e. Texas)
