But presumably we're keeping the functional electric vehicle infrastracture, reusable rocketry, a browsable and searchable web, online purchasing, and same-day delivery for absolutely everything, because finders keepers, right?https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1176481898685710337 …

So you think it impossible to find a way to tax billionaires while still have then keep control of their company??? If only we had some smart people who could solve such a complex problem....
No, I don't. There's a good reason our extant tax system relies on taxing transactions (income, capital gains). It prevents a situation where founders have to sell off their own stake in companies they're still building. Tax at sale, fine. Stripping for parts mid-flight is insane

For anyone to become a billionaire someone along the supply chain (including the taxpayer) has been ripped off. He's not saying that millionaires shouldn't exist, just billionaires. It's just plan wrong - they did not generate all that wealth themselves.

This is just saying that nobody who wants to control a company should ever let that company become worth 2bn. What's your objection to the claim that a company, with all its warehouses and IP and everything, can be worth more than 2bn?
