If anyone seriously tries to propose taxing unrealized capital gains, I would love to ask the question, are you therefore going to provide tax deductions for unrealized capital losses? If one makes sense, the other must, too.

So the reason I can tell people are motivated primarily by greed right now is because they're talking about things like unrealized gains. Like how much stock someone has. That's a perfect example of just being greedy, because _they are not using those resources themselves_.

This is why I say an exponential sales tax makes a lot more sense to me. Because it would discourage people with resources from doing anything other than allocating it towards new economic activity that benefits average people.
