I agree it sounds INSANE but think thru this.  When I was in school Dr Flynt was history professor at Samford.   Great teacher, better person.  Finished his career at Auburn..  Because he was so good I took everything he offered and history became my second major.  Oddly enough he was my son's favorite processor also, at Auburn.

Dr Flynt argued for higher property tax to pay for education etc.  He opposed Alfa s lobby against higher property tax.  The good Dr leans heavily left.  As the son of a cattle farmer whose livelihood came from his property I argued against higher property taxes.  I remember one class where I argued that to many folks their stocks are their "property", that if $100,000 of AT&T was property instead of stock there would be a tax on it.  My Dad could not put his money in ATT and still have land to pasture cows, grow corn and bale hay.

There is the argument that when stocks are sold they are taxed.   Same with land

I am sure there will be easier methods for stock  holders to avoid than for farmers with property. 

It's a thought
