You're comparing something different to what I am saying. In my scenario there is a guy who earns $1 million every year for 40 years and there is a guy who earns like $30,000 every year but in one year earns $1 million.

I'm not sure why you are comparing yourself to the guy who makes $1 mil every year, or why you think I'm saying that if you make $100,000 for ten years you should pay more taxes than if you make $1 million in one year. That's not what I'm saying. I'm not advocating for all of us to carry the tax burden for someone who wins Powerball and takes home $50 mil.

Edit: if you support a wealth tax then you support the same thing I advocate for. With a wealth tax if you earn an extreme amount over your lifetime you pay more. With my opinion, it's the same thing, but if you earn a moderate amount over your lifetime, you should pay less (even if most of your earnings occurred in one year)
