who was the surprise special guest at the DNC?

domer bet 40k it would not be George bush

polymarket odds were close to even

it's really insane that it's basically an even money bet that war criminal republican president who stole the election from the Dems in 2000 would speak at the DNC lmfao

but a speaker like michael Moore would probably be arrested if he tried to speak there, or make a documentary about the convention

Kamala Harris is calling for a 28% capital gains tax rate for Americans who earn over $1 million a year. While it’s an increase on the current capital gains tax of 20%, Harris’s proposal is more than 10% less than the nearly 40% capital gains tax rate President Biden has proposed. The Democratic nominee unveiled her plans while on a campaign stop in New Hampshire. Harris also announced plans for a $50,000 tax benefit for new small businesses, a tenfold increase on the current deduction of $5,000 for startup expenses.

I never saw anything about taxing unrealized gains

do you have a source?

I watched the whole video, and read/skimmed the whole article, and didn't see her say anything about taxing unrealized gains, or see him cite any sources about her taxing unrealized gains

I'm not saying she didn't say it. but it is an incredibly stupid idea, so I am skeptical

Tax collateralized loans imo. Btw that article makes a mockery of whether people would get money back if their positions suffered a loss, but yeah...that's exactly what would happen. Weird article

charge a rake on stock transactions.

uncap social security tax.

luxury tax on second homes, second cars, yachts, jets, all luxury items

I mean these are easy upgrades that are not even controversial. I prefer much better solutions, like just straight up seizing **** in a revolution. no housing for profit. just no profit period.

but yeah taxing unrealized gains seems so stupid i'd be surprised if she actually said that

or I guess maybe it could work ok if you tax unrealized gains, but then give people money back if/when they suffer losses? idk, seems complicated and stupid

Uhh, not much chance imo that they'd give it back when losses are suffered. That would create crazy swings in tax revenue.

Exhibit A for why I think that: You're already taxed on all capital gains but you're limited to claiming $3,000 per year of net capital losses.

Filthy is right, taxing unrealized gains is a remarkably terrible idea.

LOL, I thought it was a joke that Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris.

It's real.

Since when do you care about the fine points?

This might be as close as we're going to get:

What was wrong with the link I gave you? Again, it's a trivial google search.

I like how there's another lame ass assassination attempt on trump, and no one even cares.

and lol Elon posts that no one is trying to assassinate Biden or Harris, and then deletes it. he should lose his security clearance for that, and his defense dept contract, but of course he wont.

also another American self immolates in front of the Israeli consulate in protest, and 0 media coverage
