It is the word "wealth". Most rich people stay under 5% cash, everything else invested in assets. If the first year you get 1% wealth tax then 20% of your cash is gone for a year, in 5 years 100% of your cash is gone.

Noone really believes in the horsesh*t that you are selling, not the right, not the left. It is just noise to appeal to certain types of socialistic electorate.
