哈哈哈對富人的unrealized capital gains tax如果成真,隻有一類人不是受害者,住地下室的

如果股市崩了,隻要你有401K或股票,你就是受害者。

WSJ:

You Would Pay Harris’s Wealth Tax

The selloff caused by a levy on unrealized capital gains would devastate ordinary investors and 401(k)s.

 

Kamala Harris has doubled down on her support for a radical new tax on the unrealized capital gains of the ultrarich. She calls it the “billionaire minimum tax,” but it would be better to call it the “capital markets death tax.” It would crush the U.S. stock market, grind initial-public offerings to a halt, and hit you in the 401(k). 

Federal capital-gains taxes have historically applied only when an asset is sold and income from the sale is realized. In recent years the left has been looking for a way to increase levies on the wealthiest Americans by taxing the appreciation of their assets, even if their assets aren’t sold and income isn’t realized. Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) proposed such a tax in 2021. President Biden offered his support in his 2024 State of the Union address and 2025 budget, which Ms. Harris has now endorsed.

...

Yet the Biden-Harris wealth tax would send public markets into a tailspin and hurt all investors, not only the wealthiest. Billionaires alone own more than $5 trillion in stock, or 7% of the entire stock market. Public stock represents 66% of their wealth, so they would need to sell hundreds of billions of dollars worth of stock to fund their wealth-tax payments. These sales would drive down stock prices and, therefore, returns for all investors. The largest, most innovative and fastest-growing U.S. tech companies would be hit the hardest. Unrealized capital gains are concentrated in these companies.
