a wealth tax as some people want to punish success

Anyone whose assets are primarily in their house and property already pay a wealth tax each year. It is referred to as a property-tax by most authorities. The wealth tax is only escaped or deferred by those assets that are in securities and capital investments.

There was nothing inaccurate about Bob's post with respect to tax policy.
Indeed there was:

As I mentioned in my post, dividends have been taxed as ordinary income for a large part of our history and, prior to the 2003 tax reductions, when taxed at other than ordinary income, they usually received relatively modest benefits.
