> why should the government be allowed to force me to sell my company If it’s your company, is there any particular reason you don’t pay it (or a loan against your equity) out of cash flow? Just like every other significant expense? If it’s a painting or a car, it’s already getting taxed as an inheritance, so this is just a .4% increase in a 40% tax, no? I happen to agree that wealth taxes are unwise, but it’s not because implementation is weird. We already have property taxes; we’ll figure it out. The main reason it’s bad is because wealth taxes compound, even when you take losses on investments. Retirement accounts will simply be ~20% smaller than without the tax.
