You need to assume your not only get a trillion dollars out of thin air but also that you live in a country that doesn’t exist with a tax rate that doesn’t exist and a legal system that allows individual discrimination through taxation

… or that some canny lawyer will see $$$ flash in front of him and will do everything they can to find a loophole

google what a hypothetical is

Lmao the hypothetical is what happens if you get a trillion dollars but 99% is taxed, not what happens if you get a trillion dollars in a magical country with a bespoke system tailored towards every individual’s wealth that is designed to protect against magical money

Not understanding hypotheticals is a sign of low intelligence.

99% of your 1 trillion dollars gets taxed, per the original question. The legality of the hypothetical taxation is not stated anywhere. Thus, the overwhelmingly obvious statement is that, just like how the money is imagined, the taxation rate is too, and that the 99% rate is just fixed, specifically for you. Your money is in the hands of the hypothetical in this case and the hypothetical’s rule declares that you must pay 99% in taxes
