Yes, Biden has his own tax proposal for the wealthy. It’s a modified income tax, not a direct tax on overall wealth.
Wanting to tax the wealthy doesn’t mean he supports a wealth tax. And it definitely doesn’t mean he wants a global wealth tax. Neither of those are in the party platform.
The details matter. One Democratic proposal is to tax unrealized capital gains. So if Tesla stock went up in value, Musk would owe taxes. But unlike a wealth tax, Musk would owe nothing if the stock went down.
