Musk properly omnislashes the ridiculous new “national-socialist taxation” bill proposal. He knows how to do math, swamp demons do not

these morons now want to tax UNREALIZED asset gains!!! sure it will start at “billionaires” but we all know a new tax with a ceiling means the ceiling will always be lowered.

all you pale pasty privileged lefty harris/biden supporters prepare to pay taxes on unrealized gains on EVERY asset you possess in the future if this passes. Houses, cars, trading cards, virtual video game items, stocks, crypto, vintage clothing, plants in your garden. all of it

This won't happen and it's an insanely stupid idea. We should also get rid of property tax as well because that's a tax on unrealized gains (in several states).

Property tax is actually just a rental fee because you don't own the land, except in Texas if you actually buy it from the state.

Property taxes are evil, but most of all they are unconstitutional. This illegal tax that is part of the plank of the Communist Manifesto.
Also, let me remind you of the Second Plank of the Communist Manifesto: A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
The 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913 (which some scholars maintain was never properly ratified), the Social Security Act of 1936, Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933, and various State income taxes established this major Marxist coup in the United States many decades ago.

Man as a leftist I'd love if there was a Marxist coup somewhere in America's history. Unfortunately we live in a far-right capitalist hellscape.

I'd love this obviously batshit insane idea to be realized for just a couple of months before the courts strike it down. How many upscale white suburbanite swing voters were there whose thought process ahead of the 2020 election was something along the lines of:

"I might not agree with every single policy of the Democrats, but at least they're not crazy like Trump - I want the adults in the room to be in charge again and make sensible policy, also, the GOP rhetoric about the Democrats having become far-left crazies is just fearmongering - Biden is a super moderate, he would never pursue anything like that"

I'd just love to see their faces when the tax bill for the future, unrealized gains of their McMansion comes in. :rofl:

81+ million people 100% support this idea
