There's another obvious reality which is ignored to make "his" so-called argument.
I feel bad for gay people who truly want equality/fairness and then just want to be left alone regarding their sexuality. The ones who don't want to make a big deal out of it are often conservative thinkers on many issues.
This new generation is just so overwhelmingly radicalized though that LGBT doesn't stand for what it used to. Reddit is a very concerning place right now. I don't know if it's Let's Go Bring Terror or Let's Go Be Terrorists?

BLM burned, looted and murdered and did it with DNC funding. These people threw molotov cocktails, burned down neighborhoods in honor of a career criminal drug addict who didn't even actually die by cop.
The right just experienced a fradulent election and went to march. Feds and their disguised informants started their shit to stop the challenging of the election. Killed a woman. Then imprisoned people for walking around. Used 40% of their FBI Agents to go after these people. Keep in mind, Democrats had routinely taken over buildings during Kavanaugh, Palestine, etc. NOTHING EVER HAPPENS TO THEM!
They drove Capitol protesters to suicide in the prison.
So no, it's not remotely the same thing. The left are agents of chaos, have Soros funded organization of chaos on a moment's notice. This isn't "my side doing it is okay" type stuff. It's apples to oranges. The left are the party of violence and their fake bullshit show trial was even more disgusting.

Just in case this helps. The bank must pay corporate income tax on earnings it derives from interest earned on these loans. Then, when the bank distrbutes its after-tax earnings to its shareholders in the form of dividends, the shareholder must pay income tax again. The bank does not receive a tax deduction for paying dividends. Therefore, these earnings are taxed twice. “Double taxation”.
Which you would have less of to tax if you taxed unrealized gains instead.
For those of us who came up in the 90s, you'd know like a gay person, you'd see a gay character on TV and for the most part no one gave a shit. It was never like the focal point of a show or the entire identity. You had your activists like the authors of 'After the Ball' who said exactly how they would push the gay agenda and did. However, about 15 or so years ago, started the straight cult-like behavior and empowerment of the alphabet mafia.I feel bad for gay people who truly want equality/fairness and then just want to be left alone regarding their sexuality.

Their pivoting to trans stuff has been full-on radicalization of mentally ill people to become violent. Man, they have women cheering on losing their accomplishments to dudes wearing dresses. Think about how much brainwashing and cowardice that takes.
The top 400 is basically who I am targeting. I don't want to see the taxes go up for anyone but the top .001%.
We are wealthier now, but as I have been arguing, what matters is what you can buy with that wealth. Wages have gone up, but essential cost have risen much faster.
Ya but that wealth is make believe. Tesla could have an explosion in one of their factories and its stock could plummet 30% and all of a sudden Elon Musk loses 100 billion because their wealth is tied up in stocks which is fake money anyway.
We just have completely different worldviews on the efficient allocation of resources, and whether that best happens in a free market, or as directed from Washington. We’ll never bridge that gap.
Even if we grant you the assumption that the federal government is actually efficiently allocating resources to schools and roads (which is an insane assumption, especially in light of recent disclosures), it still would be better to have a direct infusion of capital into free markets.
Who do you think works in a “luxury industry that serves the ultra-wealthy?” Rich people?
And all that is beside the point that taxing unrealized income is completely unworkable, and very likely unconstitutional.
I just cannot believe anyone could have seen any reporting over the past couple weeks, all the waste and fraud, and think taking more money out of the private economy to be reallocated, and meddling in the ownership structure of private companies with forced sell offs, is somehow going to be better for America.
That is temporary and due to the pandemic.
Trump 1.0 was fixing that before, Trump 2.0 will after. Never would have happened if not for the waste which both parties were responsible. It's supply/demand basics. And nevermind the millions of illegal immigrants you eagerly welcomed to compete for those wages and purchase those essential costs.
But you can still buy more today with those wages than you could then.
You can;'t make something real from something that ain't.
He thinks you are going to tax that unrealized gain and turn it into real wealth by giving it the poor and middle class. It couldn't possibly work. The only way you can actually use it to make more wealth is by leveraging it, by risking it.
Which is why eliminating waste is the only way to go. Our tax, taken from everyone sufficiently productive not just the top 400, then uselessly spent is itself inflationary. You've decreased productivity by taking it from someone who earned it and could've used it productively.

I’m currently reading the book “The Rational Optimist”. It’s a great book. Not a super easy read but incredibly interesting. Basically goes through society from the stone ages to present day and shows what works and what doesn’t. I think you’d really like it.
I'm actually really hopeful. I think if i see the middle class strengthen, I won't really care what is happening at the very top. And I say this not out of jealousy, but rather as someone who wants to see other people succeed. My family is in a great position and I don't deserve the things I have, but being in a public position and seeing families struggle like they do... It just makes you more empathetic to the problems of your community.
Just a reminder that when people say "nobody has a problem deporting criminals".... Democrats do have a problem deporting criminals. They tell us all the time. They spend tax dollars on making sure murderers can stay here.
I’ve said for years that the feds do this shit.
Happened to the Vault 7 leaker
Happened to the brother of the Vegas shooter
Happened to the son of the second Trump shooter
I’m sure there’s more. But it’s also why Tucker Carlson won’t have a computer in his home.

No one is above the law but activist judges can rule like emperors on high. LOL.
Wild. Apparently, Jordan and Egypt have come to the table to talk about rebuilding Gaza. It's almost like everyone freaked out for no reason when it was obvious this was the plan.
One of the most intelligent and rational posts I've ever read on here. Thank you for that. Truth spoken.
I only lean that it was more harmful to future elections than it is portrayed. Can't have parties with wins and riots with losses.
Dems can't riot every time a cop does something they don't like either.

US grain farmers don't sell their grain to Kroger, Publix or the downtown farmers market. The big four, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus, account for 75% of the grain traded in the world.
Those grain elevators that all of the farmers line their trucks up to at harvest are owned by those four or somebody selling to those four. Near me ADM owns the one in Paducah and Ledbetter. Bunge owns the one in Cairo, IL.
Now will that hurt? Nobody likes losing a sale. I think total us grain production last year was around $150B, so $2B is significant. But, it's also a commodity. It's like the oil shell game they played with Putin. The west said they weren't buying from him. The west has to make up the loss somewhere. The west bought from the next source. To line up the next source, you have to pay more than that next source was receiving from their previous customer. That follows down the line until someone is empty-handed and then buys from Putin.
It just shuffles the deck.
Gonna need Dore on this because we don't understand how the legal system works.... but shouldn't she recuse herself from a case that she has a financial interest in? Seems like a conflict of interest.
Doing a great job being the adults in the room.
Well I can assure you if you want to target the top by taxing loan proceeds or “wealth” (including unrealized income), those taxes will be applied to the middle class long before those taxes help to fix any “wealth disparity”.
It’s what always happens. The income tax. Alternative minimum tax. Etc. It starts as a “tax on the rich” and always works its way down.
If you start by taxing Bezos because he wants to buy a yacht without liquidating Amazon, no doubt you’ll move to taxing Joe the plumber because he wants to buy a bass boat without selling his house.
Saw where his mom had worked for USAID.
So tax dollars are being used to attack people who try to save tax money from waste..... We don't hate government enough.
Protect all whistleblowers... you know... unless they are whistleblowing on democrat corruption.

No way coach does good at UNC. I don't think football is as important to him as it used to be.
Some executive orders gentlemen, are more important than others:
It's wild how many people were freaking out over "invading Gaza and building casino's and Trump tower".... LOL. And people never have the common courtesy to admit they were wrong and Trump was right..... again.
We all know why. It’s why they’re in the streets threatening violence if this money gets cut.
Lot of news about the island but there are internet rumors that the ranch in NM is where the worst stuff happened. Kash said he'd release a lot of this kind of stuff to the public. Durbin is stonewalling for some reason.
The most unsurprising thing ever.
Democrats are going to rue the day they decided to cheat and steal the 2020 election. Trump learned a lot in the last 4 years, and is now dismantling their party right before our eyes... and I'm here for it.
BigBallz resigned over being doxed. Dude saved tax payers 100s of millions of dollars and dems are pissed so they are trying to destroy his life. The internet is with him though. Dems have lost the public trust.
Pulling the "we gonna bully until we get our way". Glad the employee stood ground on their bullshit
