Mark, I share your view. In fact, I don't see how it could possibly be executed by any individual or audited by the IRS. Retained earnings figures are only available 4 times a year, not when you buy or sell. Furthermore, what would you do if you owned a company for 10 years which grew wonderfully on retained earnings, and then took a writeoff which put retained earnings back where you started (making your whole gain taxable?). If something is totally unworkable, I don't see how it will end up being passed.
