The Netherlands just told its citizen investors to go to hell.

Note: The bill was approved by the Tweede Kamer on 12 Feb 2026. As of June 2026, the Senate Finance Committee is still reviewing it and discussing possible amendments. So there is a chance it never happens or is modified. But it could and shows you what politicians are planning all over the world.
The Netherlands just told its citizens to go to hell.
36% tax on unrealized gains. Approved.
You didn't sell anything.
You didn't make a single euro in cash.
Your portfolio went up on paper.
The government sends you a bill anyway.
61,000 citizens petitioned against it.
Parliament approved it anyway.
No cash to pay the tax? Not their problem.
Asset crashes after you paid? Not their problem.
This is not tax policy.
This is the government treating your paper gains as their income. Before you've made a single euro.
The most talented Dutch investors are already leaving.
Capital goes where it is treated best.
2028 is coming.
Plan accordingly.

The scariest part is the overwhelming number of poor people who support this. They think they're taking a jab at the rich, when in reality, they're ensuring they remain poor forever with no investment vehicles.

Most leftist governments & politicians in the world want to tax unrealized gains. They are only liberal with YOUR money. When considering voting, plan accordingly.

This is their new tactic where they don't have to actually confiscate your savings, but you are forced to divest in order to pay the new tax. Pretty damn devious if you ask me. This is probably coming to a government near you, wherever you live.

No doubt they'll make sure to carve themselves out an exception.

Yes and those republicans and independents like myself who can afford the CPAs and attorneys to get around paying it will be glad they did. Sucks for you poors though.
Oh wait this is not the OT. Sorry. It just sucks all around. Hopefully the Netherlands and some other countries try this and it turns out to be a bad idea and American idiots ugh I mean leftists move on to another idea.

That’s insane. There’s no way I would own equities with a tax like that. I predict it won’t end well. If you don’t understand why the First and Second Amendments exist, I don’t know what to tell you.

I will never pay that if it comes to be. They'll have to drag me to jail. That is beyond theft. It is stealing money from you that you don't have. That is a most despicable crime. Anyone that freely pays it is the worst bootlicking pussy in the world and should just kill themselves.

My goodness, you and your liberal utopian friends are ignorant if you can’t see the fall out of this. If you do, then you’re evil.

Anyone want to defend this and say it won't happen? Convince me.

That's the idea. You can't have billionaires and trillionaires if nobody can afford to invest. It also makes sure regular citizens stay under the boot.

Only person killed Jan 6 was a conservative 60 year old woman that was shot in cold blood by a self admittes piece of shite black racist DC cop.
Dems and election fraud go hand in hand. Never seen this amount of election fraud being perputrated before.
Just look at the California Gov race. Wow.
Dems have the fraud thing down pretty well. Look at USAID. Look at the national daycare and ausitism clinic fraud being coordinated with democratic govt state officials. No dem primary in 2024. Biden health lies.
Yep, you guys are really good at fraud and lying. It's all you do.

I hope they pass it. Seriously.
It's going to chase so much money out of the country it might rival California for net out-migration. I have my eye on some prime property there I would like to buy for next to nothing.

Seems like I remember Kamala pimping this idea in her campaign.

So you're for extra taxes on nothing?

Unfortunately, we already have this here ... it's called property taxes. This is the exact same thing.
You are taxed on your unrealized property value gains.
