This is incredibly dumb.

What happens when the stock market is up one year and down the next?

What happens when you force them all to sell and there is not enough liquidity to support current prices so the act of selling hammers the value?

You are just saying "let's slowing take equity away from founders" so we can throw it away into wasteful gov. spending.

All of that sounds like it gets us closer to my goal of less inequality in society and away from fake inflated valuations. It's great!

"Your goals"...hilarious. I guess it's your world and we're all just living in it.

But seriously, inequality is a complex issue, just 'let's soak the rich' is a dumb take and won't solve anything.

But social safety nets, estate taxes, single-payer fed health insurance, etc.. might be interesting as well as other ways to approach this. For example, maybe corporate tax rate should be ZERO, but some percentage of profits (let's say 25%) should be paid as dividend to employees.
