Should Germany reactivate the dormant wealth tax on multi-millionaires to aggressively fund public infrastructure and schools?

Germany has historically had a wealth tax, but its collection was suspended in 1997 after the Constitutional Court ruled the valuation of real estate versus financial assets was unequal. Today, the richest ten percent own roughly sixty percent of the country's wealth. Proponents argue that reinstating an updated wealth tax is essential to fix crumbling schools, railways, and bridges without violating the constitutional debt brake. Opponents warn that a wealth tax would force family-owned businesses to sell off shares or fire workers just to pay the tax, ultimately driving wealth and innovation out of the country.
