Hmm, maybe then maybe put the shares into a retirement account? Basically a government 401(k). Then people will be discouraged from selling because of the tax hit when selling before retirement age. Unless of course they really need it. Which presumably they would also be receiving other government services and payments (Section 8, foodstamps, etc) if they are desperate enough to be liquidating a 401(k).
