Well only the wealthy have unrealized capital gains.

That's who they think they will target.   Best part is they don't want to go after just liquid assets of known gains like stocks.  :lol:   Imagine the shit show of property appraisals, small business appraisals etc....etc....

How the fuck can unrealized capital gains be taxed. That makes zero sense. Until the asset is sold the value of the asset is simply an educated guess. 

More money for the lawyers.   That's half what this is about.

Not necessarily so, the value of the asset can, at a point in time be determined, and that could be taxed as gains with it's value at that time.

What about losses?  That can be calculated the same way.  All this will do is make taxes even more complicated.....I thought we all were in agreement to try and make it less complicated?

What about them?

Indeed it can.

And when the "wealthy" start claiming losses and big returns, then the politicians can keep up the class divide and then will have another "job" to do.

Sure.

Taxes will only ever divide.  We just have to manage where and how deep we wish the divides to be.

It’s still just a guess, and there’s no actual cash involved. Until there’s cash involved you have no cash to pay the taxes on the cash.

No, it's a calculation based on conditions at the point in time.

Neal

Yes a guess. It’s not a real value until it’s sold. There is zero actual money involved.

It isn't a guess, it's a calculation of value.

An exchange of physical money isn't the base for the calculation.  The valuation of your asset is.

Neal

It’s a guess. 

The valuation of an asset is not money until it’s exchanged for money, therefore it cannot be taxed.

It doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of happening, it's just as idiotic of a conversation as is the talk of shutting down the border.

I can guarantee that this will somehow put a big tax on the middle class.  Fucking pieces of shit that can't just leave other people's money alone

I like how you worry about shit that won't have one iota of making any difference in your life :lol:
