1. "3% annual wealth tax on everybody with net worth over $100M"

Wednesday

What will be the process for appraising everyone's net worth to a) determine who is eligible for the tax, and b) calculate how much they owe?

Total wealth includes things like businesses, investments, real estate and homes, household furnishings, vehicles, collectibles, jewelry, artwork, and everything else people might own. Haven't heard anyone explain how this would be done.
