“Taxing unrealized gains is confiscatory because most people would have to divest the property in order to pay the federal tax on the property.”

Borrowing on margin up to 50% of stock value is still possible I believe.

I'm not that familiar with short tactics, but don't people borrow on margin in order to short stocks? It's a gray area that I'm not fluent in, so I don't think I'm grasping the point you're trying to make.

That's not a reflection on you or your point, it's my ignorance on the subject matter that's keeping me from understanding your point, so I can't comment on it.
