Any VC funded company is aiming for huge returns. Should founders be rewarded for their risks? The tax system is saying fuck-you to every person who wins the startup lottery - forcing founders to move to keep their winnings is fucked up.
Even worse is 2% wealth tax. Win your moneys, then have it taken over the next 50 years at 2%. Worse outcomes the younger you are. Aaaand did they even mention CPI in the article?
The incentive structure is completely anti-startup.
There are a lot of VC funded companies: if we didn't have startups/VC I wonder how our personal lives would look now? Not saying VC is good, and definitely lots of waste (but maybe less than government LOL)
