>If you have a bucket of money that isn't doing anything, then what value does it actually bring to the economy

Wealthy people don't just leave their money under a mattress, they invest it in something. Even if they just left it in a bank, the bank is still going to lend that money out and invest it. Taxing wealth just encourages riskier investments, as higher risk is needed to achieve comparable post-tax return.

“Riskier”, but how much riskier? Having to beat inflation by 1% is not that much riskier compared to the gained equality in taxation. Bad argument. You can’t leave off the amount and implicitly use the worst case scenario to argue against all cases.

Well explained! Here are some more examples using the calllib function to access the rust code, although I think the mex interface is probably the better way to go. https://github.com/ampron/rustlab
