This money is likely already taxed, albeit to a lower rate than usual as most of it is coming from capital gains which caps out at 20% in the USA. Let's talk real numbers instead of wishy-washy platitudes. Nov. 2023: https://home.treasury.gov/news/featured-stories/infrastructure-investment-in-the-united-states https://home.treasury.gov/news/featured-stories/infrastructu... This page confirms a 1.2 TRILLION dollar investment into US infrastructure. That's 4 times higher than even if you were to take all that SV money at gunpoint and invest it into infrastructure. I don't want to defend the "cash pile". The crunch is real, and it sucks, but unless it is hoarded for years to come, it still moves a hell of a lot faster than public money, on much lower numbers overall. And innovation money (which a lot of this cash pile would go towards) tends to benefit the entire world, not just the US. I don't see how your magic-wand suggestion would benefit anyone any faster, honestly.
