Let's visualize a 25% tax on $100m in unrealized gains.

Imagine you had $250k to invest.

You buy 25,000 shares of a company at $10 each.

They increase in value ... 400 x — to $4,000 per share.

Your holdings would now be worth $100m and you'd need to sell about 6,200 shares to pay a tax bill of about $24.9 million.

How upset can you manage to get about that? Has a tragedy befallen you? Are you destitute? Are bread lines to follow?

Taking even the lowest rate (1.7%) and the smallest base (top 0.5%) from the Spanish wealth tax and applying it to the US would mean an immediate $340 billion annual tax revenue increase.

That would be a 7% increase in total tax revenue and, applied to social welfare programs, would constitute a 25% increase in their funding.
