You might be right. She is willing to make a run as long as she loses then she can move back to California, retire in Sausalito and drink boxed wine every day.

Even better, how do you get the cash to pay taxes in unrealized gains? You have to sell 25% of your asset.


Yes which crashes the asset price then your gains are not realized.

Yeah, you want to see a depression? This is how you see a depression.


I don't even understand how the stock market could continue to operate if you start doing that shite. How are you possibly imposing such a thing? Yearly? All on the same day?

I can't imagine the upheaval that would occur in the markets for everyone trying to somehow find a way to cover such a ridiculous "tax."

Let me guess, politicians are immune from the unrealized gains tax.

Can you imagine if this tax proposal of 44% capital gains gets passed the amount of people cashing out there 401k and IRAs right before this law goes into effect?

See, it's a trick. If you have to sell to pay your 25% on unrealized gains, but then those gains to pay taxes would get taxed as realized gains at 44%. Then you have to sell more to gross up to the proper amount.



Wall Street would collapse.

401(k)s and IRAs don't have capital gains taxes, but I get your point.
