I agree that a Citizen's initiative is required to get food and fuel and basic items taxes AND FEES down to 1% or ZERO, also a licensing fee on legislators and lawyers of say $500 per quarter plus add .03% of all legal expense collected court costs--we need to stick it to them.

Why not a wealthy person contributory FEE where if you don't get a W-2 form verifying annual hours worked or other equivalent proof of wages or fixed income, then you pay flat citizen services availability fee of $5,000 year or 1% of value of assets in the state whichever is greater. Soak the Shirking-class Rich and non-producer grifters, leave working class EARNERS and small business alone to produce and not get skimmed off the top.
You had me until you supported the taxing of assets. For one thing, those assets may have already been taxed in several different ways. For another, it disincentivizes frugality and saving. That's not even delving into the taxing of your house's value, which is already done yearly or semi-yearly in most states. Taxing assets eventually chips them down to nearly zero, a positive incentive for wasteful spending (since you'll be poor no matter what, so why not blow it all on transitory experiences).
