Isee a lot of people on Twitter desperately trying to defend the insane,
suicidal tax proposed by Vice President Kamala Harris on �unrealized
capital gains.�

It�s been a while since anyone has proposed a dumber idea, so in that
sense, at least, she is a historic candidate. And those who think it�s a
good idea are historically stupid.

As many others have pointed out already, such a tax would harm everyone
investing for retirement, depressing asset values as the uber-rich are
forced to make massive annual sales just to pay the tax. And what I�d
really like to know is whether, if I�m ever forced to pay taxes on stocks
I�m still holding just because their value went up on paper, do I get my
money back when their on-paper value goes back down again months or years
later?
The best defense of this tax, intellectually, is that it falls on only the
filthy rich, meaning that only a relatively modest number of people will
be completely screwed over by a system far more unfair and unjust than the
one we have now. But if you support government screwing over Americans, so
long as you get to choose which ones get screwed, that only calls your
decency into question.

The reality is that taxes that start off narrowly focused on just a small
group of people always end up expanding to get almost everyone. This has
happened over and over again throughout our history.

Consider that you are still paying the Spanish-American War Tax tax every
time you pay your monthly phone bill. The tax to fund that 1898 war was
easy to pass because only rich people had telephones then. The war ended
after less than a year, but the phone tax has survived in various forms
for more than 100 years. On occasion, it has been partially repealed,
reinstated and altered.

The tax on long distance access, one of its descendants, finally ended in
2006 after a court ruling forced the IRS to stop collecting it. There�s
still a push to repeal its last remnants, but don�t hold your breath.

The income tax, in 1913, hit only the rich. Its top rate was 7 percent,
falling on incomes of half a million or more, with lower rates for those
making at least $20,000 (about $635,000 today), which very few people did
at that time.

But a funny thing happened on the way to soaking the rich. Although the
income tax was never sold as a way to take 10 percent, 25 percent or even
more of what average earners make, that�s what it has become. Add that on
top of the combined 15.1 percent of your income that you are losing to
Social Security and Medicare taxes. Are you feeling the economic justice
yet?

The Alternative Minimum Tax was created in 1970 because of outrage over
just 154 households with incomes over $200,000 ($1.6 million in today�s
money) who had paid zero in taxes the year before. Forty-three years
later, Congress was forced to act because its formula had allowed the tax
to creep so far down the income scale that it was about to gobble up
almost every two-income middle class family in America. Only in 2017 did
the Trump tax bill restore its original purpose as a tax paid by only the
very highest earners, and even then, it passed over Democrats� vociferous
objections.

The inheritance tax was supposed to hit only the rich. But the rich have
complicated life insurance products and trusts they use to pass wealth to
the next generation tax-free. So, who gets hit with this death tax? Not
Bill Gates or George Soros, but Old MacDonald � you know, the farmer. His
land and farm equipment may be worth $13 million on paper, but he needs
those use-assets to make the slim margin that comprises his annual income.

Because he cannot shelter it from the IRS the way the super-rich can, his
family will have to sell off the farm to Gates or to some large
corporation to pay a tax bill as high as 40 percent of the estate. Harris
even wants to expand this tax by changing the treatment of inherited
capital gains, hammering death-tax victims a second time.

If history is any guide, Harris�s tax on so-called �unrealized capital
gains� will ultimately bite all of us. Today�s Democratic Party talks
about �the rich� paying �their fair share.� They start by claiming they
want to target only a small, very specific group, like those 154 zero-tax
families, so that you�re convinced it won�t affect you. But once they get
the concept in place, it�s only a matter of time before they get their
hands into your pockets, too.

The only way to protect yourself, your family and what you�ve earned is to
vote against Democrats � to stop them from creating and increasing the
taxes in the first place.

Actually, you should be worried.

1) The economic downturn to compensate will definitely
affect you.

2) and as Scott pointed out, $10M today, $1 tomorrow.

Did you get a tax break from Trump? Wealthy people did.

Trump didn't give you that. He just happened to be president when it occurred.

A man who was in a stolen car that led law enforcement on a pursuit through Minneapolis is now facing attempted murder charges.

Prosecutors charged 35-year-old Norman Wesley Parker with two counts of attempted second-degree murder, drive-by shooting and illegal gun possession on Monday in connection with an incident in January.

Last week, Minneapolis police said officers helped Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office deputies after they found a shooting suspect inside a stolen vehicle near 22nd Avenue North and Emerson Avenue around 10 a.m. Friday. However, when they tried to stop the vehicle, it rammed three deputies’ squads and fled, leading to a pursuit that eventually ended when the vehicle crashed near Central Avenue and University Avenue Southeast.

RELATED: Shooting suspect arrested when stolen vehicle pursuit crashes in Minneapolis

Parker was a passenger in the vehicle and was taken into custody upon being released from the hospital.

While police didn’t provide details regarding which shooting he was wanted for, court documents filed Monday allege that Parker shot at two women he knew on the night of Jan. 4.

A criminal complaint states it happened at around 10 p.m. at the intersection of Broadway Avenue North and Fremont Avenue in Minneapolis. One of the victims, who knows Parker by the name “Shooter,” told police she and her friend had been at a home just before the shooting and her friend had gotten into an argument with Parker.

While they were waiting at a stoplight, the victim said Parker pulled up alongside them with an “evil” look, then fired a handgun several times at them. Officers responding to that incident found several discharged cartridge casings at the scene.

The complaint notes that when Parker was arrested Friday, officers found a gun on the floorboard where he was seated in the vehicle. Forensic analysis showed it was the same gun used on Jan. 4.

Parker’s previous gun possession, assault, drug and aggravated robbery convictions make him ineligible to have a gun.

His first court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison for attempted murder, and the gun possession and drive-by shooting charges carry up to 15 years and 10 years in prison, respectively.

If you want an economic downturn, elect Republicans.

Since 1989 when George Bush entered office, there have been only three
significant economic downturns and all of the happened in and near the end of a
Republican's administration.

That was Obama's economy still recovering from the destruction Bush caused.

Tim Pool likely was requested by Lauren Chen, to report that the Moscow terror

And Trump wants to add 20% tariffs on our needs too. He does not
understand how that works. Harris called him out and he showed how
stupid he is about them

In the past maybe 30 or so years many jobs have been lost overseas. Can
we get them back? Yes, but we will have to pay more for the goods.
I bought my first TV in 1966 and it was made in the US. It has been
quite a few years since that has happened though some are assembled here.

That first B&W portable was about $150 then and I can get a decent TV
for the same real dollars today.

Are we willing to pay for those jobs? Remember when Dad worked in the
factory and made enough to support a family and buy a modest house? We
can't do that and have cheap appliances.
