Peter McCormack critiques wealth tax proposals citing Spain and Norway

In a recent appearance on Question Time, Faiza Shaheen discussed the potential benefits of implementing a wealth tax, referencing successful applications in Spain and Norway. Shaheen argued, ''We always focus on the failures but some countries have done well with their wealth taxes.''
However, Peter McCormack, a well-known commentator on economic matters, expressed skepticism in response via social media. McCormack challenged the notion that increased taxation is the solution, hinting at the need for alternative financial strategies, though he did not elaborate in the tweet.
Wealth taxes have historically been a point of contention, with some viewing them as a necessary measure in addressing economic inequality and others cautioning against their impact on economic growth and investor confidence.
