We grasp it fine. Again, the entire point of the article, and this thread, is that the wealthy abuse this distinction to evade paying taxes on wealth generation.
Welcome to the central point of the article in question. How are you unaware that's what we're discussing?
Edit: Hopefully this catches you before you respond; you keep resorting to the "force them to sell their companies", as if that's somehow a "bad thing" we should be concerned about. That's not an argument you have ever tried to back up, and frankly, I dismiss it offhand.

It's a problem, because it's a family business, that is run extremely well.
It's famous for being good to its employees, and because of that, you want to take that away from them.
Once again, I'm talking to someone who doesn't want ANYONE to own the means of production. You don't want her to own any of it.
And other people might be just as good as running the business. Something being "a family business" and "being run well" is not a reason not to change things in the context of our discussion. That's just you whining about fairness.
Also, since the VW Group is arguable one of the largest, if not the largest automaker on the planet, you might be inclined to say they're a well run family business. All of that is technically true.
Remember that emissions scandal that led to some arrests a few years ago? Yeah, that was exclusively born out of the "family business" model, because lead engineers and upper management didn't dare to oppose the family that owns the business and/or didn't dare to tell them they couldn't make the emissions goals that were required.
A family business typically isn't the best business model beyond a certain size.

Okay, grammatically, the "them" in that final sentence reads thusly;
"It's famous for being good to its employees, and you want to take that away from [the employees]."
And that's not something anyone's argued. They have no ownership that is being taken away from them. And nobody's argued about taking control of the company away from Snyder. That's a straw man you made up.
Nothing here explains why Snyder shouldn't be expected to pay a wealth tax. You don't even make an attempt. That it's a "family business" isn't an argument. And the rest has to do with management, which isn't part of what's being discussed in the first place.
