Taxes tend to suppress the things they tax or force that thing into the underground / black / illegal economy.
You tax gasoline enough people reduce their driving or replace the energy source.
You add payroll taxes to businesses they reduce employees
You tax wealth you reduce wealth.
Only an individual who was ignorant of taxation, economics and human nature would support a wealth tax. Or was an individual driven by envy, jealousy and self contempt at their inability to do better for themselves.
