> Sanders seem to be proposing to arbitrarily seize half of the companies.

I guess it's only ok when the government arbitrarily seizes half my paycheck. If it happens to billionaires it's communism or something.

This isn't about income tax or capital gains tax, it's about the government seizing half of a privately owned company.

In both cases the government takes half of something that belongs to an individual. Does it matter if it's cash or stock?

In fact when my company awards me stock the government takes half anyway!
