Bernie also appears to contradict himself here by saying that if the valuation decreases, then the government doesn't lose anything, but actually it does: If this is supposed to be a "sovereign wealth fund", and the valuation decreases to zero, then what exactly is held by this fund? Some worthless shares?
The shares are collected by tax, not paid for by the public. So if the shares go to zero, nothing is lost. If someone gives you a lottery ticket for free and it doesn't win, you haven't lost anything.
