Britain already taxes wealth The UK already runs wealth taxes by other names — inheritance tax, stamp duty, council tax bands — introduced with little outcry. Taxing wealth is the norm, not a radical departure; this campaign just goes further. Repeals were about bad design The taxes that were repealed had low thresholds, leaky exemptions and poor enforcement — the failures were of design, not of the underlying idea.

You're making the "Faces legal challenge" argument against a wealth tax. Countries already levy wealth taxes by other names — inheritance tax, stamp duty, council tax bands — and they survive legal scrutiny just fine; taxing wealth is the norm, not a constitutional novelty. Where wealth taxes ran into trouble it was bad design — low thresholds, leaky exemptions, poor enforcement — not an insurmountable legal barrier. Design it properly and the legal challenge is manageable, as it is for every existing wealth tax.
