Again with the "if you make less than $400k, you're taxes won't go up one dime" scam. Even if on the surface it's technically correct, raising corporate taxes just gets passed on the those very people they claim to protect in the form of higher prices on all goods and services. Whether they admit it or not, all tax hikes are paid for in one way or another by all people. Therein lies the deception which the Left has mastered.

A tax on unrealized capital gains will destroy our free enterprise/capitalism system..... or I should say be the final killing blow It would actually bankrupt a lot of people. In many circumstances, the difference between paper gains and liquid assets is so huge that people wouldn't be able to pay the taxes. And the next year, the exact opposite might be the case. So here's a rhetorical question for everyone...if a person has massive unrealized losses, is the government going to cut them a check of a fortune in the form of a tax credit on the unrealized losses??? You know the answer already.

Rest assured that there will be plenty of loopholes for the wealthy Democrats. They won't be cutting down their money tree, those who donate big to keep them in power. This is all playing games to dupe the real people. Ask yourself why so many billionaires vote and support democrats and why they do it? They do it because when democrats are in power the ultra wealthy can count on them to govern in ways that financially benefit billionaires. Every "tax the rich" scheme in history has contained loopholes that have ultimately benefitted rich democratic donors and soaked the middle/upper middle class. This will be no different, the law will be written so that Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates can make a couple of minor adjustments to their portfolio and go about their merry way. Meanwhile the small investor with a few million dollars in his stock portfolio will lose half his wealth.

It's like claiming they'll create a flood to drown giraffes - without mentioning that everything shorter than giraffes...

Those are the folks that have the drive to dream big, invent things, build factories, and create jobs for us poor folks. Tax them out of existence and then we'll have income equality with everyone in the dumps.
I'm most inclined to support a flat tax across the board. I.e. What was your income? Multiply that by 0.05 and send us a check.
Am I envious of the Rockefellers, Melons, or Hiltons? You bet, but someone in those families busted their ass to acquire their assets and probably employed and pulled a few of us along while doing so. Lots of them also went broke several times before coming up with a successful idea.

Do, if you start a company, go public, enjoy great gains from the IPO, do you sell to pay taxes and violate SEC holding regulations?

Tax expenses will be passed along to the consumer......like always.
This is how politicians appeal to low IQ voters, while increasing tax on everybody..........but on paper it's only 'the wealthy paying their share'.

Like a thought crime they are going to tax people for profits they might make in the future. Are they going to be taxing businesses if they leave any working capital in the business too? Seems that would be the case with many sole proprietorship.

If people had to cut a check for taxes instead of the automatic deductions, they'd be more involved with how badly it is spent. They'd also be looking for cheaper alternatives to lower their bill too.

If people had to cut a check for taxes instead of the automatic deductions, they'd be more involved with how badly it is spent. They'd also be looking for cheaper alternatives to lower their bill too. 57% of all Americans paid no federal income tax for 2021. Federal VAT and similar consumption based taxes seem like the lessor of tax evils to me but I can't support one because they'd just add it in addition to everything else. The taxes I hate the most are on my home and land. Always just renting from the king. Many on fixed income are having a hard time with property taxes doubling over just a few years. My property tax is more than my first mortgage was in 2006. The government is entirely too big in every way. Bb

This will affect everyone. They can't bleed the billionaires for enough money to do what they want to do. Unrealized capital gains is a gateway drug for the globalists. It will affect everyone eventually, everyone except the billionaires.
