If I sell you a rusty old tricycle for $6000 just because you have a psychotic nostalgia for it, the value of old rusty tricycles doesnt become $6000.

That would work maybe…so you’d have a government body to assess companies like houses are currently assessed. Sounds expensive though. We’d need to raise taxes, which is probably a good thing anyway

It wouldn’t involve raising taxes as much as it would involve collecting taxes in the first place from billionaire assholes hiding their wealth. This is a recent problem and is easily fixed.
