That's just laughably incorrect. Tax starts at $120k on $30m, which a lot of people will be holding as stake in their own companies or personal investments. Many people would wind up owing millions more than they ever hold in cash. It's insanity.

I'm not sure how "we'll just put in on your tab" is a real solution to the problem. It certainly doesn't change the fact that not all of these assets can be expected to grow under COVID.
