Taxcing Money i Don't Have Yet . . .WTF?

Now I am hearing that there is a move to tax "Unrealized Capitol Gains". Texplanation I am hearing and reading is that the proposed tax would be applied to the difference between the initial cost of an investment and the estimated value of that investment "now" . . .before cashing-out!

Not cleare yet how this would work. What about my house, my US Savings Bonds, my 401(k)?

But I am not hearing anything about a credit for an investment that goes down in value. . . .like my 20 year old pick up? And what about all my ENRON stock?

Here is a far out idea, audit everybody that makes over $400,000 or just the billionaires every year and leave the "little people" alone. After all, if billionaires are the target ( of course they are not, Dem's are lying to you ) why not just target them. Such a simple solution.

ICU,
Yes major issues.
Here's another:
If billionaires have decent tax geeks looking at their stuff, wouldn't those tax geeks figure out a way to get the unrealized stuff into non-taxed class of stuff? Seriously, what a cluster fxxx, and a total waste of time. So middle class is gonna get screwed regardless.

But yes, audit all politicians.
At national, congress, senators secretary of this and that.
At states, all governors, AGs etc. Maybe pass on school boards

Taxes are so fucking gay. I want my money back. Unless I can decide where my share goes, I don't want to pay any of it.

Even if the current concept (if passed) would only impact the ultra-wealthy, these are liberal-left socialists. so eventually it would affect every grad-schooler's allowance. . . .and their parents too so the money would be taxed twice.

If the midterms don't bring back a Republican majority, wwe won't be able to pay for anything with dollar bills of any denomination in ten years (or less).

This double punch combination will go far beyond just tax collecting. This will affect wait staff, cab drivers, Providers and anyone getting paid in the "Gig Economy".

Watch them try to regulate barter transactions in some way next.

The democratiCommunist party is showing their hands
Proposing to confiscate 'Unrealized wealth" - which means they own all wealth and property in America
Typical Communist nomeklatura - hiding the reality of their Hatred of representative democracy and the American Peoples

So they can rule as elitist Democraticommunist nomenklatura!
