Repealing a wealth tax deletes the machinery needed to score or collect the next one.
Continuous collection is what builds the registers, valuation capacity, and scoring data a wealth tax runs on — Sweden's repeal left no wealth register for its own reinstatement debate, and Hungary is attempting a comprehensive mass-affluent base with a fraction of the administrative capacity of the rich states that abandoned the instrument.
The same conclusion keeps arriving from across the workspace's research — 1 topics independently instantiate this theme. Filter the evidence by where it came from:
Repeal erased the register that scoring and administering any reinstated tax requires, so even the Green Party's own revenue estimate rests on data that no longer exists.
A low-capacity state running a comprehensive mass-affluent base — where valuation disputes scale with taxpayer count — is the never-built-machinery case that completes the law repeal-only would miss.
