Everyone is saying we don’t trust shite they say. They’re proposing multiple tax changes that will frick everyone in many different areas.

Those of you that keep spouting the $100,000,000 mark. What happens when that’s not enough? Top 1%? What about top 10%? Top 10% is $840k. Hits a little closer to home.

Same a-hole logic was presented to the public when the income tax started in USA , " will only hit the very wealthy "...now today only the poor don't pay an income tax

We all know how DC operates ... get a foot in door with 'only the rich' then modify it every year thereafter

Has anyone told her how taxing unrealized gains worked out for Norway?

Norway expected an additional $150M in annual tax revenue, but caused $54B in wealth to flee the country, costing them $600M in annual tax revenue.

Worse is they have no grasp of what they propose .

Who would go around to value all the assets of the wealthy and their cost basis to determine the unrealized gain on art , rare cars , land , homes , buildings , rare coins ?? ..... gold would go to $10,000 oz fast as wealthy sought to liquidate assets before new taxes kicked in to bury somewhere

I don't know why this dude is getting so much hate for this post. He is correct. Although I DO NOT AT ALL AGREE WITH THIS POLICY, it is only for (I read) individuals with a net worth over $100 million. He's correct and also says he doesn't agree with it in the first sentence. Why the hate?

Eta: I meant why the hate for the poster. I think this is a terrible policy as well.

On the surface, it is bad policy to tax something (income)that hasn’t been earned. Second, once they get their hands on the super rich, they’ll come for the common folk.

Where do you think they’ll get it from?

Grab a mirror, take a good look. When you realize it’s you, congratulations.

You’ll hate it then too. Because assuming they’re actually stupid enough to do it, the one getting the bill will be you.

Rich people didn’t get that way for the most part by being stupid.

As first it will be for high earners or high net worth individuals. But those criteria will change .
I believe they known how devastating this will be to taxpayers, to business owners, to investors, to job creators and to entrepreneurs.

That’s exactly why they are doing this. All part of the plan.

I don't understand how they even think this makes sense. Surely this would have to come with a reduction for unrealized losses, so while it might resort in some sort of immediate increase in taxes collected, this would soon level off.

And how will they measure your "net worth"?

That's not something that comes up on any tax form (that's "income" not "net worth"). You need accountants to look at all your assets, cars, artwork, properties, bank accounts, digital currency, etc.

And you can bet that people with $100,000,000 net worth can and will hire the best lawyers and CPAs to document their net work is $99,999,999.99.

I'd say most of it has to do with people not trusting anything that the opposite party says.

I mean, of course it's a terrible idea, but I agree that there is a massive overreaction to it from people it won't impact to nearly the same extent it would impact the rich.

That being said, I believe there's a 0% chance this ever passes.
