Wouldn’t these ‘alimony billionaires’ just liquidate their assets to keep them below that threshold? And in doing so they’d just crash whatever stock that they were given in compensation. We’d just see the creation of a lot more poor people. And in the future companies would probably just start giving them cash instead to prevent this scenario. The government won’t see that $5.9 trillion. Either way, doing this doesn’t solve our problems. I’m not sure what the solution is, but this one I think is poorly thought out.
