Just remember we could be coming off of four years of Hillary. We just have to endure two years of Biden, which won't be easy, but after that the next election in 2022 will move us right back to where America should be...fiscally conservative and socially libertarian.

While you may be right - once they come with the tax code - that Biden has expressly said he was coming with (a 44% capital gains rate) - it cannot be undone until the Republicans were to control every branch of government - this tax policy could easily be in place 10 years

Call it what you want but when rioters are storming the Capitol building, it's not what he should've been saying on National Television. That's not leadership.
He never was a leader. He was a cheerleader. And an ugly one at that.

That cap gains tax applies to individuals with over 1 million AGI. Not sure it applies to most individuals

riiiiiigggghhhhttttt

and woodrow wilson was only going to take 1% on income over $3k/yr ;)

the damage of this policy would be insane. every wealthy investor would take their profits before the capital gains tax hike is installed thereby dropping the market 20-25-30% which fucks the middle class who don't have massive assets outside of their 401k and stock portfolio. A coordinated effort to implode the economy as suddenly the, ahemm, conservative Boris Johnson wants UK capital gains to rise from 20% to a graduated 28-45%.

They need a way to pay for all the Stimulus packages of the last 12 years

In Canada the Liberals are considering a tax on your home equity when you sell your principle residence.

Pack your lunch and put your work clothes on and get ready to watch America as you know it disappear. The changes you will see have been happening daily and ignored b/c it wasn't happening to us. Lets start with Bidencare funded thru payroll then Church's taxed with no charitable contributions to be tax deductible and then a knock on your door :think2:

One of my favorite quotes of all time belongs to a Senator from North Carolina circa 1900

"you're talking about taxing only 1% of a man's income, but someday that might be as high as 5%", a classic

Point being, once they have their foot in the door, taxes only go up

Here's another thing liberals don't seem to understand about capital gains. When you tax investments more, you decrease venture capital. And venture capital is very important for businesses to startup, expand, invest and hire people. They just don't grasp the concept of success breeds opportunity. Somehow, they even make success racist. So damn bizarre

Not a riot. By democrats standards it was a protest. Can't have it both ways.

Capital gains right now is 15% for most people (19.4 in reality thanks to Barry) - when they raise it to 30% for "most people" - do you know what percentage of increase that is? my math tells me a 100% increase - but again - if you don't pay taxes why would you give a fuck

Where do you see that they are raising it to 30% for most people?

And how many investors are already partially getting around capitals gains taxes by using a roth IRA

When the Republicans controlled the house, senate and Presidency they cut taxes and increased spending........calling this fiscally conservative is a joke. There is zero chance this economic plan works for any period of time. To continue it would be a disaster. The republicans are not fiscally conservative and the debt increases more under their leadership.

This is probably too nuanced and beyond something your willing to consider, but who do you think put all the programs that drive the debt there?

The great society programs, medicare/SS/medicaid, obamacare expansion...This pretty much drives all debt growth over time, the increase of the entitlement state.

Which party is more heavily in favor of all of these things or originated them?

Spot on.
