Comments
"Most of the Forbes 400 accumulated their wealth in the form of lightly taxed founders' stock or through founders' stock inherited with a stepped-up tax basis."
"The tax benefit goes mainly to entrepreneurs who would have started businesses anyway."
Actually, the tax benefit reminds entrepreneurs that they won't be "punished" for building a successful business.
