This is a terrible idea and would be a nightmare to enforce. What if the stock misses earnings big one quarter and ends up tanking and becoming a 0% gain or even negative?

Make it voluntary....see how many put their money where their mouth is


There are CEOs and Sr Execs of fortune 500 companies that are sitting on ...half a trillion in stock options and they voted for this and are using their position to to leverage the business after their own politics. Let's see if they go for this

Unrealized capital gains can also include real estate as well that includes homes . This was a proposal to drive people to multiple dwelling homes .

This would be a wealth tax, and to me, would need a Constitutional amendment.

I'm sure John Roberts will let it by, though.

This sure is a rosier projection than when Trump was in office.
Heck, according to the MSM, we shouldn’t even have a vaccine by now!

Getting rid of the bad orange man was more important.

It had to be accomplished.

Even if it meant cheating.

They still don’t think it means them. And maybe it doesn’t, you know exemptions and all

So people who save money are punished and get to give money to the idiots who spend it and haven't saved any. This is genius. Because they are idiots and will just spend it.

You just described conservatives vs liberals.

Elections have consequences.

Massive spending = massive taxation.

They’ll just divorce their husbands and get their allowance anyway.
