Taxes on marketable securities are, by definition, trivially payable, especially considering the tax-loophole use to literally get around paying capital gains tax is simply to borrow against them.

Why should a business owner have to gradually give up ownership of his creation just to satisfy some arbitrary tax invented to make poor people feel better about being poor, or feed some arbitrary government apparatus? That's what any wealth tax is, especially when applied to business. Wealth in and of itself should not be taxed, only transactions and fixed assets that need state protection. And the taxes should be carefully measured so as to not penalize people for being successful.
