A tax is a tax, how/what isn't really relevant, but most of our assets are taxed some way or another. Using the benefit of investments to secure loans makes that asset real enough to me to see the case to tax it. Makes a lot more sense than taxing unrealized gains anyways.

inserts obligatory all taxes are bad and we should reduce the size of government and spending. But I'm Canadian anyways to this is all theoretical.

Watching that debate caused brain worms.

Kamala laughing and dancing hard today
She got the swifties on board
Trump might be in trouble
Oh how things switch so fast

Bet on Harris for pres?

[msommers]

Trump is not a good speaker, lets be honest. Previous to the debate, there was a clip of him talking about support of schools that was so riddled with nonsensical, incomplete thoughts and sentences that it made ol' senile Biden look sharp. His whole idealogy of communication is to say whatever you want so confidently that people believe it - Sales 101.

This debate was never going to go well, and it became painfully obvious how easily she got under his skin and he couldn't help himself.

Can't wait for all the memes.

If you think any eat the rich policies they try in the states aren’t going to dribble across our socialist borders I don’t know what to say

[CompletelyNumb]

She is far more experienced as a politician and that was clear in the debates.

Dang trump a bit unhinged tonight
Harris surprisingly did pretty good I thought
What can be, unburdened by what has been
The significance of the passage of time
Go girl. Yes queen. Slay.

Well that cap gain inclusion rate thing Trudeau implemented follows Washington state's which made Bezo pull up and moved to Florida.

[max_boost]

She can win but let’s see if the house and or senate goes with it too

Man oh man, what a mess.

The fact people can't tell the Dems are completely aligned with Big Pharma, WEF etc is wild.
The entire US economy is owned by three companies. Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street.

Complete vertical integration.
Processed foods, make people sick, they go to the hospital, immediately prescribed drugs.

Rinse and repeat.

The only way out is Trump, or a complete revolt, which won't happen.

[JfuckinC]

Did trump say immigrants were eating people pets? someone told me that... lol

Sounds like you need a beer

[vengie]

I do.
But everything I said is true sadly.

[msommers]

To be clear, Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street would have no sway if Trump was President, but they would if Harris was?

Not really. The 16th amendment clearly states that feds can only tax on income only. Property tax is a bit different in nature and at state level where state constitution allows it as a use tax. Regardless if your home value gains or losses, you pay. It's an assessment on how much services you use based on how much home you need and tax you on that. On your second point, imagine being taxed 25%+ when you apply for a HELOC.

Honestly, the need for a constitutional amendment to move forward with unrealized gains tax means that it's just political posturing. It'll never happen but it'll win some votes with some broken promises.

[ExtraSlow]

I'd vote for anyone promising to increase the eating of pets. Pets are gross.

Leave Vanguard out of this. VOO is going to fund my retirement.
