The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I am just not understanding the ramifications of your argument.
Yes, Stocks are property. They are a specific type of property: "intangible personal property".
That type of property is not currently taxed. I am describing a method in which that type of property will be taxed.
What does your distinction bring to the discussion?
