We need a tax system where the government figures out how much they need each year, and then just takes it proportional to net wealth above a certain amount.

That’s exactly how property taxes work if you replace “net worth” with “assessed property value.”

(As opposed to what some people think, that rising property values on their own lead to rising property taxes)

So yeah, why the heck not do the same with other forms of wealth?

In the US, in states that charge sales tax, the merchant is generally supposed to charge sales tax. And if they don’t, the purchaser is generally supposed to pay a “use tax” that is the same amount as what the sales tax would have been.

The latter pretty much never happens though, because there isn’t the tax infrastructure to do that for individuals.
