as it would be impossible for most people to pay tax in real dollars on an abstract future wealth, wyden's unrealized capital gains tax would effectively strip every US tech worker of their equity. the industry would cease to exist.https://twitter.com/RonWyden/status/1113464900142104577 …

This is obviously a terrible idea, but when they come back with a modest proposal to just tax cap gains like income you’ll feel grateful. ;)

Ah, moving the Overton window. I will say that I'm impressed how quickly everyone adopted Trump's primary political tool. We are in for a decade of crazy ideas designed to make bad ideas sound good.

All of my capital gains have been earned on savings from labor that has ready been taxed once. Including CA taxes nearly 50% all-in.
