They also want to increase the capital gains tax. That would be all the beautiful dollars people make after they sell the stocks and get the cash.
By the way, all the money that you used to purchase the stocks in the first place was already taxed as part of your income tax. These people are crooks.
I would sarcastically say, "thank the liberal retards that voted these people in," but no one actually voted for these cheating, lying fucks.
The unrealized gains mechanism cuts both ways though - you would also get offsets for unrealized losses. Ultimately, this breaks any incentive for speculative investment at all, and returns the market pricing to the reality of dividends based on actual profit. Problem is, nobody would ever invest in anything or build small businesses up through public markets, and none of us would ever have access to anything of value except for small businesses built by our own hands.
