The estimation of 15% loss of market cap due to the 2.5% cap tax is laughable. That is effectively a reverse buyback of 2.5% every year. It would leave many companies with 0 or negative profit. Any company with P/E above 40 immediately loses money. 20 has their profit chopped in half. The values of these companies would be reduced by at least 50%.

Um....so what?

Stock market is the way to efficiently allocate capital. If value of every company is halved it changes nothing to relative performance of them.

This tax would raise much much less money than Sam expects.
