Our Approach
Education First
We prioritize education over advocacy. Our goal is to provide comprehensive information that helps readers understand all aspects of wealth tax proposals.
Data-Driven
All our information is backed by economic research, legal analysis, and real-world case studies from jurisdictions that have tried wealth taxes.
Non-Partisan
We focus on facts, economics, and legal analysis rather than partisan politics. Our goal is informed policy, not political victory.
Transparent Sources
Every claim is sourced and verifiable. We provide links to original research, government documents, and economic studies.
What We Cover
Economic Analysis
We examine how wealth taxes affect revenue volatility, capital flight, investment, and economic growth. We look at research from leading economists and real-world examples from countries that have implemented wealth taxes.
Legal & Constitutional Issues
We explore the constitutional challenges wealth taxes face, including issues with exit taxes, retroactive taxation, and the dormant commerce clause. We examine relevant Supreme Court cases and legal analysis.
Real-World Case Studies
We analyze what happened when countries like France, Sweden, and Germany implemented wealth taxes, and why most eventually repealed them. We also look at recent examples like San Francisco's executive tax.
Policy Alternatives
We explore alternative approaches to addressing wealth inequality and funding public services, examining their relative effectiveness and trade-offs.
