Joshua Achiam(@jachiam0):This is a pretty deeply bad idea. This doesn't help the government increase revenue (the nominal goal of wealth taxes), disincentivizes company formation and investment, sets up high-uncertainty time bombs for founders, and potentially sticks the government with extensive equity holdings in companies that are unsuccessful which it cannot unload. This is almost a textbook example of why people feel that the government is bad at capital allocation and the private sector is better at it.
