I’m pretty sure this is being paid for by the guests who bought tickets and by the astronomically high initiation fees and yearly dues that Mar-a-Lago club members pay and Mar-a-Lago club membership remarkable stable.

Mar-a-Lago is a membership club. The membership is supposed to be quite expensive, with an initiation fee of around one million dollars and yearly dues of $20,000. The latter actually aren't that high; it’s about what I pay at my country club, tho mine has a full golf course.

The Mar-a-Lago guests probably paid a lot more for the New Year’s festivities.

Okay, this I don’t get. What does this have to do with one another? We had my company’s Christmas party a few weeks ago at my country club, and yes, there was plenty of high-quality food at the buffet. That’s kind of normal at those places. I paid over $240 per employee for food and drinks.

They’re talking about a wealth tax, not income taxes. But since wealth taxes would be unconstitutional, it’s a moot point anyway, and their math is way off.

ICE is paid by the federal government, since immigration enforcement is a core federal function. Education is only a peripheral federal issue.

How would that even work for owners of equity or property they don’t intend to sell, like businesses or IP?

Selling their holdings? Why would they? But will some leave the state for a majority of the year to stop being residents for tax purposes? Almost certainly. It would be the highest wealth tax by far in the world, with no write-offs for capital gains losses? Yep.

Again, a 5% wealth tax on your net worth, even on unrealized net worth, with no clear mechanism for write off should unrealized gains decrease after having been taxed, is not a marginal tax issue.

A tax on 5% of your net worth is not the same as a slightly higher income tax on your income in that year, that's not semantics that are enormous differences

I mean, one of the highest wealth taxes in the world has not been tried, and it could truly be a reason for many of them to leave.

How would you get rid of billionaires entirely, just out of interest? And, of course, I mean within the confines of the law and the Constitution and without some imaginary socialist revolution.

Because they don't want to part with 5% of their net worth?

As a landlord who has financed the building of units in the past myself, a stable, if not spectacular, ROI is kind of my goal, just as it is for asset managers.

Good for them, but I fear that the coming correction will wipe out a lot of those gains. It will also be a good opportunity to buy into tech at or near bottom prices.
