Aux@lemmy.world 1 year agoYeah, but the mansion is already there and the money went to the builders. So, what’s your plan exactly? Take the money from the builders?

When do you think the last mansion was built?

How’s that relevant to my question? It’s not. But I’ll give you the answer, as it seems you’re struggling hard - you can split ones wealth. The end.

Yes you can, it’s called tax, and it splits off a fraction of your assets when paid.
No idea why OP was focussing on mansions, but a property tax would sort that problem. Stick a £2m threshold on it so it only hits the filthy rich. Before you whine about asset rich cash poor; dont care sell it if you can’t pay. People are dying.

You can’t tax wealth. It never works.

Again. The mansions don’t fall from the sky, they are built. Not every mansion has already been built. Why are you acting like people only buy pre-existing mansions?

What are you talking about? Mmm? I gave you a specific scenario, why are you trying to move goalposts? You lost your argument, just shush now, kid.
