If we did it today the tax would be money. It doesn't make sense for the government to seize 2% of a factory.

I think GP means we could destroy the taxed money, which would benefit everyone by either deflating their savings (the same money is worth more), or allowing more money to be printed for social programs without causing rampant inflation. This is getting pretty close to MMT.
