I missed this originally but he’s also proposing a 25% tax on UNREALIZED gains.
UNREALIZED.
That’s for wealthy individuals but still, absolute insanity. A lot of people would just leave the US and the government would likely have less tax revenue than before. https://t.co/J0XecKgAM0

I don't want to simp for neoliberal too much, but it's legitimately terrifying how vast the intelligence gap is between the discussion in neoliberal and the rest of reddit gen pop.
It's somehow impossible for redditors to imagine secondary knock-on effects. The world view of the redditor is a linear equation.

Slight downside that hurting the wrong person's feelings with your personal choices gets you beaten with a stick or murdered, instead of just getting whined at.

Like for all the criticisms we have about wokescolds…. that's all they are. Whiny people. Sometimes they can get you fired.
The Asian dictatorship equivalent of wokescolds are legally allowed to beat and kill you.

Doesn't work that way for Americans, you owe the tax man no matter where you live. The only way out is to renounce citizenship and that comes with an exit tax of half your shit, like a divorce.

It always amazes me how Americans don't understand this.

Most Americans don't have to understand this because they never leave the country or pay taxes.

Taxing "unrealized gains" is so r-slurred.
One of the only major taxes that needs to assess something's value outside of a sale are property taxes. And there are gigantic departments with hordes of assessors to try to determine the assessments. And a whole system of appeals and shit because they still frick it up all the time.
So now these idiots want to do that to arbitrary businesses? Even private businesses, where there's not really any "true" assessment of value?

TBF, the market value of stocks, bonds, commodities aren't hard to determine. There's a current market price and you just need to define what time you look at that price for taxes. Some rich mofo will just sell a single share at $1 to manipulate the closing price and save on taxes.
Private equity and shit is way harder to be sure.
