Wealth tax sounds ok in theory but countries which have tried it, found it didn't work in practice, and it just pisses people off with the govt.
e.g. in 1990 12 countries in Europe tried a form of wealth tax, today only 3 still have it.
The Greens wealth tax would not just capture the super rich but also many in the middle socio economic group and with many people asset rich but income poor, the deferred payment of the tax would result in little extra tax revenue (& redistribution) for the govt for many years, so whats the point?
The cost of collecting a wealth tax for the govt, with all the disputes would consume a large chunk of it anyway.
