But they aren't the ones evaluating it, the stock holders and buyers are. Plus i agree they should be able to sell it, but I'm a system where every billionaire is running to the open market to sell stocks for taxes wouldn't work because other would pull out of the market. So the value is the sticks would install go down to realistic p/e earnings. Essentially wiping out the wealth we are trying to tax.

They are a stock buyer and holder, so they take part in that pricing. If inflated valuations became a detriment, the stocks would be priced accordingly. We shouldn't desire unrealistic p/e ratios.
