The wealthy can spend their money as they please!!! Someone benefits from the sale of art to the wealthy, and that is the artist and the entire art industry. You are a fool if you do not see that!!!Static wealth is a dozen homes full of gold-plated, rare, exotic, diamond-encrusted useless status symbol stuff like art and antique collections that will never be sold. Property taxes are themselves a form of wealth tax.That's an obvious lie!!! There is no such thing as static wealth!!! Most of the world's billionaires have their wealth heavily invested in the companies they founded!!! Taxing that would destroy them and throw millions out of work!!!Taxing static wealth is as American as apple pie. We need all the money rolling around making more money. Not sitting around like a solid gold toilet in a fifth home.That's an obvious lie!!!A large swath of the nation's wealth never passes through the everyday consumer economy. Tax the fuck out of this locked up wealth and you never even touch the economy that matters to you and me.
The artist and the person who buys the art. That's two.
