Putting a tax on wealth means we first must measure it

What's the point of allowing wealth inequality in the first place if you're going to fix it later.

We have a system of distribution exclusive to the distribution of political representation where we don't ask people to first earn political representation only to tax parts of it later for redistribution, we instead distribute it equally from the get go in the form of equal weight electoral votes. Nothing prevent us from having a similar system to distribute wealth where it's warranted.

Where is it warranted? Where there is economic rent. Holding any form of capital ownership titles generally provide economic rent, and the unequal distribution of it is unjustified. Specialized labor that have a high active incomes have a greater access to investments than nonspecialized labor with low income, yet non of these know better where to invest their money, since their money doesn't come from investtment, but rather from their non-investment-related profession.
