The part about Norway is total bullshit. The "reversion" is solely because the Conservative party, the party for rich people, is in power.
There's no evidence it hasn't proved workable. The left coalition has promised to increase the wealth tax back again to recent levels if they gain power in the September election.
It's certainly true that political winds are driving the reversions. But what's driving the politics?
Wealth taxes face three classic problems: (1) they're very hard to set in any fair sense given complexities of markets and assets, (2) they can induce liquidation in ways that are net bad for the economy, and (3) capital flight.
3 seems to have been a problem in Norway (https://archive.is/L6kyZ), as it was in France and elsewhere in Europe prior. If your tax system causes a net decrease in receipts because you're golden geese have fled, that's a workability problem!
