While it will never pass, It required an income over 1 million and an invest income over 400K.

That is very very small set of people. There are actually very few people who have standard income that high, and that is by design. Probably professional athletes might be one of the biggest sets of people.

Not sure how there is any discussions for lower and middle class at all.

Once again, this is in a separate proposal from his budget. So even they know it is just political posturing.

The discussion is always about the camel's nose under the tent. You don't let the government advance any taking from anyone.

Unrealized gains are not income it’s no different than your home going up in value. Should we tax homeowners yearly on the increase in value above purchase price?

It's actually not. A working couple with 2 professionals (like 2 doctors) can easily be making that. That's where we are. What makes it worse is that we are both straight w2. No fancy accounting tricks, just pay a frick ton of taxes.
