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 …

All would have been built without creating the billionaire

I can point out at least two of those that would almost certainly not have. If you can't immediately point them out, quit smashing at your keyboard before your brain turns on.

Are you not considering the people who *continue* to build the product that made them billionaires? How about the fact that taxing founder shares until they no longer represent a controlling interest completely undermines risky innovation *within* those extant entities?

This is a total non sequitur, and I'm not entirely sure you're aware of that.

For one thing, that's nuts. The initial "crazy" move *always* looks more innovative than subsequent build-out. There's no avoiding that. But beyond that, the US does not look like an attractive place to build a company if you only get to keep it for 5-15 years.

The wealth tax Sanders is proposing here is >4x anything that was tried in Europe — and then fairly broadly discarded, because wealth taxes have generally not worked out well. So... anywhere?

The plan here is explicitly to reduce net worth. That's a far cry from *any* tax plan that seeks to maximize revenue w/o cutting too aggressively against growth. If your plan includes a 40-60% exit task to trap extant wealth, people are not going to come to you to build wealth.
