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 How about the fact that taxing founder shares until they no longer represent a controlling interest completely undermines risky innovation *within* those extant entities?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.
