Why is anyone at all surprised by this. Democrats have always been against any means you might have to get ahead. They've been harping about 'capital gains' taxes forever. I notice that they never take inflation into account when calculating these 'gains'.

If there are no gains, no tax. Funny how that is.

The new proposed insanity is to tax *unrealized* gains.

This is interesting. I wonder how the Billionaire Oligarchs feel about this? I guess we can assume, since Gods and Demigods all live on Mt. Olympus, that they might get an Olympian tax break. To spur the economy, of course.

Their thievery was way more widespread than the few areas you mentioned.

This was industrial scale theft involving multiple levels of thievery.

They want to take ALL your money. That’s what they call “paying your fair share”.

[Wall Street wanted Biden, they got him.]

If we listen to Joe Biden, we can fix this!

When then (1929) Stock Market Crash happened...

FDR didn’t go on TV and talk about the princes of greed!

If you are in for the long haul you don’t have to worry about capital gains.. unless the DemonRats start taxing investments you haven’t sold.. and I’m not talking about dividends.

I thought it was weird that we rallied 20% post election.


The partisan closing of businesses was anticipated as coming to a close. There was tremendous pent-up demand. All he had to do was not intervene - despite his promises.
