I'm absolutely opposed to unrealized capital gains being taxed.

I rarely if ever agree with you, but it would take people exactly 0 minutes to suffer unrealized losses and start getting paid.

Or sit on losses indefinitely (or create artificial losses) to cover gains. Any, every, system will be gamed in favor of those with the best lawyers and accountants.

The devil is in the details, isn't it? I haven't seen any of them yet, but I'm reacting to the blanket "no taxes!!!1!1" stuff.

I say tax the **** out of them. But this is like the dumbest possible way to do it.

I'd absolutely prefer to just treat all income sources the same and tax at whatever rate. But since no one is advocating that outside ... normies ... I feel like this is a decent loophole closure. Again, devil and details and all. But the ability to carry over gains and losses and report when it's convenient is outrageous. See: Donald Trump.

So just raise the ****ing income tax.

"Oh no, we can't do that. that's unfair. Punishing people for being productive".

Manchin said “no” to the billionaire tax. Apparently the 3% surtax on income above $5 million is back in play, but I don’t think Sinema will go for it.

Yep, this country is hosed. It's incredible how quickly it's coming unglued, too. A third of Americans have embraced demagoguery and willful ignorance, and another third simply don't care anymore as long as they still get their teevee, video games, and fast food.

I mean it isn't really that fast...it has been building since 9/11. That was when the divide started and cancel culture really took hold as the Right basically destroyed anyone who dared question their actions.

Bin Laden got his wish. And his niece is a full on Qucumber Trumper.

Actually, I think there's like 29 who don't. The US is the only "first world" state that doesn't.

Because.......American exceptionalism. Bootstraps!!!!
