>Twitter is not 'the mood of the nation'. You are not representative of 'the mood of the nation'. In fact, you're an outlier.

According to a Reuters poll from this beginning of this year a large majority of Democrats and a slim majority of Republicans support the idea of a wealth tax. While there isn't a large amount of polling on the subject (that I can see), that somewhat undercuts the Twitterspace argument.

The specific question people responded to in that poll was "the very rich should contribute an extra share of their total wealth each year to support public programs" so you can dissect it at your will.
