But they don’t necessarily have to sell stock. They currently use the stock as collateral for loans that they use to get what they want/need. They can take out a loan against the stock to pay their fair share. They only have to sell some if they can’t raise the capital some other way.
If we don’t want to tax them that way, make loans recieved using non-taxable assets taxable.
If we don’t want to do that, make compensation via stock taxable the same way that compensation via cash is.
I like the last two ideas. Those could work. the first one wouldn’t work at all.
Paying taxes on stocks received is my favorite. That was they pay their fare share at the time, and when they eventually sell it down the road, and still incentives increasing share value.
