Wow. She sounds like an awful human being.

To think that is the kind of thinking that one of the most powerful people in

A different opinion on tax policy makes someone an "awful person"?

Hodor

Yes. Especially this one. Let's see, you hold an asset

It's fine to oppose the policy, but "awful human being?"

You still haven't made the "awful human being" case. At all.

russkiejedi

If you have the existing system that is working mostly and then

Archaea

Yes, I disagree that that makes someone an awful person.

You cannot tax unrealized gains. Most people don't have that type of liquid

That didn't stop taxing receivers of estate $. Had to sell all/part of asset.

grandpacoug

2/24/21 1:53pm

The estate becomes a realized gain when inherited.

flyzag

2/24/21 2:24pm

And there you have the big difference.

I don’t even know how it would be possible. Dumbest thing ever.

Heath Squashwell

They won't stop until they tax everything imaginable

wabluecoug

2/24/21 12:59pm

Who’s they and why would they want to do that?

pink22

2/24/21 1:03pm

Politicians everywhere seem to always be looking for more taxes, I truly believe

wabluecoug

2/24/21 1:06pm

And then they have to pay them too? Seems like a dumb idea to force themselves

pink22

2/24/21 1:07pm

They can just vote themselves a raise or do a side deal. They get rich in office

grandpacoug

2/24/21 1:11pm

And tell all their friends and family you’re welcome for raising their taxes?

pink22

2/24/21 3:11pm

They take care of themselves in other ways, like being exempt from insider

wabluecoug

2/24/21 1:12pm

Ah, just like Obamacare...wait they exempted themselves

Progressive politicians pandering to the plebeian polity.

Archaea

Good thing only republicans have capital gains

Taxing unrealized gains is the perfect way to kill the startup segment.

Do you get a credit for unrealized losses?

Surely there will be some limit, say $2million.

valleus

2/24/21 1:03pm

I would like to say it is unbelievable, but unfortunately it isn't. Monumentally

oryguncoug

2/24/21 1:05pm

RIGHT......

grandpacoug

2/24/21 1:13pm

I think they already do if you quality for Trader Tax Status.

This is just the beginning of learning the consequences of the 2020 election

It would never pass. However a tax on realized capital gains from RE would

Nat Gas Man

2/24/21 1:35pm

Nat- What is your reason that it would only be on RE?

grandpacoug

2/24/21 1:48pm

This would be very good.

valleus

2/24/21 1:55pm

Why? It would damage Economy in more ways than you can ever imagine. Period.

grandpacoug

2/24/21 2:08pm

It is something other countries have done with success. They changed the RE laws

Nat Gas Man

2/24/21 2:24pm

That is not taxing unrealized gain. That is changing Those receiving commission.

grandpacoug

2/24/21 2:27pm

That why I said realized gains

Nat Gas Man

We should discourage rentiers capitalism. The few are enriched while making

valleus

2/24/21 2:29pm

That is already taxed.

Archaea

2/24/21 2:27pm

Well maybe but you can get $500k tax free if you play the game

Nat Gas Man

2/24/21 2:35pm

It is still taxed, the $500k exclusion is just a calc to arrive at the amount of tax.

If there is a bill that gets out of committee the stock market and RE will crash

Nat Gas Man

People will still need a place to sleep. Stock certs can be used to wipe butts.
