      Under a 3% wealth tax, Bezos’ first-year “fair share” exceeds *all* his liquid assets. Founders’ wealth is in their companies, not yachts. There’s nothing worth enough to sell but ownership stake. A cartoon vision of wealth is going to dismantle the strongest economy in the world

      3% sounds high but I don't get the objection - is the idea that he would cease to be CEO because he loses his shares? If Bezos is the best CEO can't he stay on because others shareholders will vote him in? As for liquidity he can hand over 3% of his equity to the IRS directly?

      Liquidity may be a bigger problem for other assets, but can't the IRS just take 3% of the the thing on paper, and collect the $ whenever it's sold? I feel like some creativity to accommodate this new kind of tax should be able to make it practical in most cases.

      I can well believe that wealth taxes have bad incentive effects, as do other taxes on capital and labour income, but haven't heard a clear argument that they're worse than the alternatives, at appropriately low rates.

      Bezos can keep his job & still find himself newly beholden to more conservative interests with less personal skin in the game. I think this matters — where would SpaceX be? If you're not taking the tax until a sale, it's just a worse capital gains tax that disincentivizes risk.

      Long run, this would kill innovative venture in the US. *Maybe* you can trap some extant capital here by threatening to confiscate a huge % of it on exit, but who wants to sign up to gradually lose their own successful business in advance? RIP, this chart https://twitter.com/sknthla/status/1070031703421333504 …

          I definitely worry about capital flight under a wealth tax. That's why Piketty argued it had to be done cooperatively with other countries. USA does already tax capital on exit though (when people give up citizenship).

          We need to change the nexus of taxation to make it harder for the rich to avoid being appropriate taxation in a more mobile world IMO. But that's a broad issue beyond just a wealth tax.
