I think the overwhelming problem with U.S. tax policy is not that administrations haven't been picking and choosing specific entities to tax, but rather that income tax on the wealthy is way too low, there's too many legal avoidance schemes, and corporate taxes are on a worldwide race to the bottom

Agree. But what I’m talking about isn’t a tax, it’s us citizens, via the federal government, sharing in big profits of companies we invest in early, as private investors do.
