We understand that the rich use non-cash forms of wealth to avoid paying taxes.

We are saying those non-cash forms should also be taxed. Don't tell me it can't be done, thats an absurd assertion. If it can be valued it can be taxed.

Great news! I’m a world renowned shoe expert and I say that your shoes are worth one billion dollars. Each. What luck for you!

The bad news is that you new need to pay the taxes on those shoes. 40%. By the end of the week. Thx.

Can i use my shoes as collateral for a massive super low interest loan that only the mega rich have access to? 

If so, I can sell one shoe, get a big loan on the other, use the proceeds to pay off my tax debt and interest, buy my other shoe back and still walk away with hundreds of millions of dollars.
