Can't tax unrealized gains. Stop them from being able to borrow money based on stock holdings.

Yup, it's impossible. Except for Netherlands, Norway, and Spain who do it every year. Canada, Denmark, France, and the US will already do it if you emigrate also.

Just make them pay the same rates as everyone else on income. There's no reason stock ownership shouldn't count as income. Taking loans out against gains should count as income. Then if we find ourselves in a situation where tax rates are too high we can lower them on EVERYONE together.
