    So what? So you lose all of your investors, from billionaires to small investors of pensions, and everyone in between.

    That’s a massive part of any economy… and you won’t get any more money from any of them, all will invest elsewhere where their money won’t be seized.

    This would be very, very bad for your economy for many years (at least).

    That’s so what. Don’t get me wrong, this would be hilarious and you should do it as soon as possible.

      Why would small investors pull out? They wouldn’t be impacted by this stuff in any meaningful way.

      Thats just an absurd slippery slope argument. It just doesn’t follow reality at all, but let’s assume it did, and that you are right.

      So you lose out on selfish people who want to be the takers, but aren’t yet… you lose out on them investing in crap that only or largely benefits them, because anyone who isn’t just out for themselves would not be deterred by this sort of thing. So what? Where’s the loss here? You miss out on making more billionaires. Oh no.
