The article critiques California’s proposed Proposition 40, which would impose a one-time 5% wealth tax on individuals with assets exceeding $1 billion. It highlights significant practical challenges, such as the illiquidity of private company shares and the potential for entrepreneurs to be forced into selling stakes or borrowing through government loans to pay the tax.
