    You pay property tax because of the services that are provided to you by the municipality. Garbage collection, streets, parks, schools, libraries, public services, social programs, public events, etc.

    While I understand the idea your going for here the intent of those taxes aren’t the same and the businesses that they are interested in would pay some form of tax (probably?).

    I think something like a gross wealth tax, 10% of all wealth a year over over something like the poverty line * 100 in total assets
