idiots dont realize they raise this tax, especially that high, and they will get less revenue....

if the government will get almost half of the money you make on taking a risk.....the risk will not be worth taking

With no frickin' adjustment for the devaluation of the dollar.

May his beach house be hit by a series of F4 hurricanes which will also hit the Delawanderers who returned him to Senate time after time.

Next he'll say send it all to me, and I'll give you something back.

Yeah - and then wind up over on the Money Board in 24 months bitching about how they got left out in the cold when people's investments kept doing well.

What miserable "advice".

These threads are stupid (this is like the 5th one in a month) because there is literally a zero% chance any of this stupid shite gets passed.

Uh, no. The "proposed" tax is on capital gains and not high-income earning professionals.

And afterwards there won't be anyone selling anything that would trigger the new tax rate.

The effect wil be a one-time boost in capital gain taxes followed by a long period of ZERO large capital gains transactions.

The Law of Unintended Consequences will be invoked and the federal government will collect less, not more, in taxes.


I think of it more as his shrewd plan to fix inflation...by causing a recession!

Man fuk Biden. This clown is so stupid we cannot afford another 4 years of this clown.

I don’t think I’ve hated another human being more than Biden. They seriously want me to destroy this country.

Yeah, that’s just great timing as I am looking to sell my business in the next couple of years and retire. My retirement planning assumes 15-20% capital gains tax to be owed on the sell, not 44.6%! I might not be retiring at 53 years old after all.

This is such bullshite. I took a giant risk to start my business in 2002, worked my arse off to build it into what it is today, and now I’m looking down the barrel of a double-clutch grudge fricking from the government as I am starting to think about retiring.

His donors will be the ones actually writing the law. There will be so many individual loopholes this thing will look like the Gordian knot.

So now they want to tax you on what you would have made had you sold something?

Didn't Clinton float the idea of taxing you on the imputed value of your home?

There's no way to accurately do this unless there's a sale. Unrealized gains would be based on values, which are opinions by definition (same as Trump's Personal Financial Statement trial and why it's a load of BS).

Not to mention that apparently there would be an annual 25% holding cost (tax) for assets and then tax them at the sale?

Markets would crash.
