   While the concept of progressive wealth taxation is very important and good, executing on such taxes is very hard.

   I'm skeptical this bill is actually a positive step in the overall campaign. That said, I think the more discussion about the concept, the better.

      Publicity is good I think. We want the public to understand that very rich people pay less taxes than the average person. I don't think this is commonly understood, because people get caught up on income statistics, which are an incomplete picture of the accumulation of money.
