If they did tax wealth in that way, they would have to use average share prices across a considerable period of time or it would be far too easy to manipulate (because short term prices changes generally don't reflect true changes in value).

That makes sense. Apparently Norway use 75% of the price at January 1st. No idea how that works for them but an average over the year would seem fairer for quoted shares.

What's all this stuff on Twitter about Pence needing a chaperone and/or calling his wife Mother?

Rumours already that Trump is considering dumping Pence and bringing in Nikki Haley!

Harris would wipe the floor with either of them.  A very decent pick in terms of substance, if not policy.

Pence seemingly does call his wife, Mother. Which is funny because she's just his cousin.

Harris is a decent pick. Would imagine she will go through Pence in the VP debates.

Seems to have more support amongst the progressive wing of the Democrats than Biden too. I think Biden will win and will get through 4 years, then Harris will run on the first all female ticket in 2024.

He refuses to be alone with another woman who is not his wife. Obviously can't control himself.

He’s a fucking weirdo.  Believes in gay conversion therapy.  In many ways, worse than Trump because he’s competent enough to hide his agenda.

This is it.  Trump has destroyed the GOP for years to come.  Harris will win 2024 in a landslide if it comes to that.

Hope there isn't a terrible cold spell, covid strike or unfortunate deadly incident!

She barely hit 5% in the primaries but she'll definitely win 2024 in a landslide.

She's still as shite a politician now as she was 12 months ago. And still a bent cop as well.

On paper yes he is. 

Wealth only exists as a notional theoretical sum whatever asset it is held in. The value of those shares is the price each times the number. He maybe wouldn't be able to realise all of that value if he tried to sell them at once, but that just means he won't sell them all at once. 

As to whether a wealth tax is a good idea i was entirely persuaded by pikketty's capital that it certainly is. In practice i agree that valuation (and identification) of assets would be an issue but listed securities would be the easiest item after cash.  

 

It would be far more effective to change the material conditions that result in the ridiculous wealth of Bezos (low pay, uncompetitive practices etc) rather than just chopping a bit of his net worth off which will change absolutely nothing.

Chopping his head off is obviously the best option but we live in a weak era.

I wonder if this “both sides bad” take is so that any election result will prove you right, or if you are just scared to admit you like Trump?  Either way, it’s cowardly.
