Only a liberal could think of something so stupid. The government MUST be reigned in before they destroy the fabric of the nation further.

I only wish I was impacted by Biden's new proposal.

What if you have a matress full of vintage hundred-dollar bills? Will you get a tax credit for the loss in value of our money?

Traditionally, Capital gains are understood to mean:
Capital gains are the profits you get when you sell an asset. Capital gains can be subject to either short-term tax rates or long-term tax rates, depending on how long you owned the asset.
Having said that, let's be honest - Joe ain't doing shit - well except for in public, in front of G7 ministers, when he pops-a-squat right in front of them. I would expect some ding-batty loony minion got a bit in front of their skis reaching for more of other peoples money - especially people that have an actual clue, drive and skills enough to make decent coin, unlike their DEI selves.

I think the smart, if not totally fun, play would be to march into a local bank and demand exchange of them to the Silver that was promised on the promissory notes. Be sure to live stream the adventure. It would likely go viral.
