All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions · Ep78 “What’s Wrong With Taxing Billionaires More?” with Joshua Rauh · 18 Jun 2026 podcast

Isn't that a much better model?

Yeah.

The whole measure, also in the way that it's announced, seems to be very politically formulated.

In other words, if you said as people get richer, we would like to impose a wealth tax on them.

And we can think of some progressive tax, or we can think of many different ways in which, if you wanted to raise $100 billion, to do this specific thing of this 5% wealth tax.

Tax on the billionaires, it almost also feels to me like they're going after individuals because it's such a small number of people.

So it seems a very weirdly targeted strategy.

Are there any legal constraints on this?

Or how should I interpret this?

In other words, if I have $500 million, you could still tax me 3%, but that's not on the table.

There's something about this billionaire.

caught off.

And of course, a billion dollars seems to be like a relatively arbitrary number to me.

So how should I understand this?

Let's go back one more time to the research that you mentioned from Saias and Zuckman, right?

When they did their estimate, what was their assumption about the mobility of people?

Because obviously, most billionaires in the country already have residences in many different states, is my prediction.

And so it's really that the only thing they have to do is just spend more time away from California and just eliminate whatever real estate they had.

in California.

Was the assumption in that research that nobody would move?
