So you are making broad exceptions allowing the wealthy to buy, trade, and store their wealth there. You've ruined the entire point of the wealth tax.

But without private property no one can accumulate wealth by exploiting the labor of others. I haven't ruined the point of the wealth tax, I've preempted the need for it.

A mean, maybe. Certainly we at least agree it's a better idea than a wealth tax.
