You better fix the tax code then. The US taxes income, not wealth.
Mark Zuckerberg can pay himself a dollar. His networth is in the value of his holdings, in otherwords his gains are unrealized until he sells them.
For instance: similar situation is the gain taxpayers face when they purchase a home that increases in value. They don’t owe taxes on yearly increases in the home’s value. Instead, they pay taxes on the gain when they sell the house.
Oh really??? I don't think so... Called property taxes... Mine go up EVERY year. have YET to see them go down... Figure that one out.
