I wasn't even claiming my original idea had much substance because it is so obvious. I hardly think I've solved a real-world problem because the real problem is people and politics while we're discussing theory. But if you want a simple proposal to address wealth inequality that's one way to do it. And wealth evaluation isn't an impossible problem because wealth is regularly evaluated in every market - real estate, art, stocks, cash.
No solution is ideal. But it's not an intractable problem because it's regularly solved every day around the world for all sorts of reasons. If we created a branch of government whose purpose was to do this I think they could figure it out. So in that sense I'm offloading the problem to people whose job it would be to figure out the problem.
Anyway, I've spent way too much time arguing about something I don't even care about. Cheers.
