Never at the Federal Level!!!!

You didn't specify "federal taxing of assets should be opposed at the conceptual level". You pretty clearly were saying that the concept of taxing assets is odious (to you) in general.

And while it's easier to influence at the local level, I don't see that as relevant. It's also easier to affect how your tax dollars at the state level are spent. But, ultimately, it's all controlled in the same manner. Specifically, whom you vote for based on their stated policies (and their follow-through on said policies).

Property taxes are an example of taxing assets. Estate taxes (which I'm less familiar with) are another. Whether the taxing entity is county, state, or federal.
