Dude the stock market isn't going to "lose almost all its rate of growth" over a chunk of Amazon and Tesla being sold.

Annually, the stock market rises about 10% annually. An 8% wealth tax causes the stock market to only rise by 2% a year.
If the government takes 8% of the stock owned by billionaires,
Due to the law of supply and demand, if the supply of stock in the market increases by 8%,
this will cause the rate of increase to the stock to decrease by 8% as well.
Well, if that's you're main concern then allow me to instantly relieve you. The IRS does not accept stock certificates in lieu of cash. Section 14 of the Federal Reserve Act prohibits the US Govt. from owning any stock.
