    No it’s not clear.

    What the heck are you even on about your total wealth???

    We’re talking tax brackets on income tax! Or taxing people based on revenue.

    What does your total wealth have anything to do with this? Heck, I own a bunch of shit, some is more valuable, it’s part of my total wealth, but I sure ain’t taxed on it because THAT’S NOT HOW INCOME TAXES WORK!
