You stated that is a known, and even desired outcome. I literally quoted you.
The desired outcome of the new voting laws, is to disenfranchise minorities, and lead the GOP to more electoral victories... no matter the bullshit they say.
The desire for the abortion laws is to control women, and ban abortions, no matter what the proponents actually say.
No, it's not a real life company. It's a 200 bedroom mansion that is used to live in. It has nothing to do with a company.
It's my room. I would be surprised if anyone but me charges me rent for being in my room. You know, the one that is my property. Godamn, how old are you? Have you ever actually been in the real world by yourself?

I didn't read all of the back and forth, but I wanted to chime in because I really don't understand how anyone is against someone paying their fair share in taxes.
Let's say I was a typical working-class American with a tax bill of let's say, 12K. I know that the IRS doesn't care if I have to find the money under my couch, in a shoebox, or in my savings account. If that's what I owe, they expect me to pay it.
Why should it be any different for someone who decides to put all of their assets in a non-tangible location (stock/bonds), for example? If the rich and powerful find themselves having to sell a portion of their business/investment to meet their requirements and the value of it goes down, boo freaking hoo.
Looking for <Good Quotes for Signature>.
Which is not synonymous with "you want to force them to sell their companies".
So clearly you know what my actual argument is, and the misrepresentation is deliberate.
You keep pretending these are legitimate comparisons, and they aren't. You're taking my comments out of context, and pretending they mean something they don't.The desired outcome of the new voting laws, is to disenfranchise minorities, and lead the GOP to more electoral victories... no matter the bullshit they say.
The desire for the abortion laws is to control women, and ban abortions, no matter what the proponents actually say.
Specifically, a wealth tax exists to redress an inequity.
Both of these examples are cases where an inequity is deliberately created.
You keep equating the former with the latter, and that's just an obviously dishonest bit of chicanery.
They pay more than the average American does, based on their income.
They are paying "their fair share."

If you want to force an action, and you understand the consequences of that action, then that is what you are doing.
If you force someone to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge, you want them to die.
We were talking about a hypothetical 200 bedroom mansion, not In & Out. I have no idea why you're not getting this. You make up a batshit crazy example that makes no sense, I go along with it, so at least fucking stick to your own crazy idea instead of switching back and forth as it pleases you. You're making no sense at all.
I'm actually not poor, buddy. But you keep thinking that if it makes life easier for yourself. Additionally, I don't live in the US. Our wealth gap is not NEARLY as dramatic as is yours. And we have systems in place to make sure the poor here are never as poor as the people in the US. Even if I was poor, in our corner of the world, I'd still be richer than the poor Americans.
See, we have a responsible, social market economy that enables competetive business capitalism to coexist with social solidarity and fair trade. You should try it. Oh no, you can't exploit people here... nevermind.

It isn't "forcing" anything; selling ownership stakes is one potential means to pay the hypothetical obligation, but by no means the only one.
And, to repeat; why is divesting ownership a bad thing, again? You continue to never explain this. You just engage in false and misleading comparisons to things like jumping off a bridge. People divest themselves of ownership in companies all the time for a whole wide range of reasons. Why is only when a wealth tax comes up that this is somehow an impossible option?
You were the one making that goalpost about the bedrooms. I have no problem talking about In&Out.
I'm getting it just fine. You have no problem sacrificing what you know you will never have, so that you can take from others.
SO, how much more are you willing to pay of your wealth? 6% of your wealth a year, on top of what you already pay?

So, the numbers were provided, show me how Lynsi Snyder does it any other way.
I'll wait.
"I don't want to force this, but even if I did, is it such a bad thing?" You're at stage 3 of Trumpster.
