2024 Presidential Race

Not that I think it's a good idea, but the 25% tax on unrealized capital gains would only apply to Americans with a net worth over 100 million dollars.

That's probably about 25,000 Americans.

Again, not that I think it's a good idea at all.
So good luck with your stock market returns when guys like Warren Buffett, Elon Musk and Bill Gates start selling large volumes of shares to pay their tax bills on unrealized gains.
 
The 25% on the unrealized gain is only part of the taxes owed on the $50,000 appreciation in this scenario.

It’s just the start.

You owe $12,500 for the 25% tax on the unrealized gain.
Don’t have the cash to pay it? Proceed to tax 2:

Sell shares to generate the cash needed to pay the Unrealized Gains Tax. Which means….. Capital Gains Tax.

You’ll need to sell $22,500 under the proposed 44% Capital Gains Tax rate to generate the $12,500 you owe for the Unrealized Gains Tax.

$12,500 in Unrealized Gains
$10,000 in Capital Gains
On a $50,000 appreciation on paper

One of you nerds check the math.

Sinister. This is how the Tea Party got started. The situation is much more dire now. These people are open socialists.
 
Luther isn't a 'good guy'. He is delusional, and he would rather this country turn into Cuba or Venezuela because of his completely irrational hatred of one man.

If you choose to gauge people that way, that’s your choice. I choose to not gauge a person’s morality based on their political opinions. I lean right and disagree vehemently with many Democrat policies. Still, I have multiple Dems in my life, a couple that are pretty hard core Dems, that are great human beings. Gauging how good or bad a person is based on that person’s political opinions only increases the divide in a nation that is already very divided.

I wish Luther and those like him didn’t have such a severe case of TDS that they are willing to vote for an imbecile like Kamala, but by the same token, I wish Republicans weren’t so foolish to nominate a lame duck candidate. This election would be a cakewalk for the R’s if they’d gone with someone else.
