So you do agree it's seizing, which is all I said. I didn't say anything about it being a realistic proposal.
Agree, but my point was that Bernie do know it's unrealistic and illegal, so he must expect it either be shot down outright in which case it's just a theatre or be negotiated to be legal ("just compensation") in which case it's a bailout for tech giants in the height of bubble.
I don't know which is correct, but in either case Bernie comes out of it as unprincipled in best case and bootlicker in the worst.
