Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

Tax should be yearly. But based on the change in capital gains, not the absolute amount. Then losses can also be considered (and offset).
Any sale or transfer of equity creates a valuation (even paying equity as salary). Just have to watch for loopholes. E.g. Make it volume weighted so that the CEO doesn't sell 1 share to his wife for $0.01.
Taxing unrealized capital gains is not difficult. There just needs to be a politician with enough balls to implement it.
