Soros Machine Trying to Manipulate Media Coverage on Biden-Harris Unrealized Gains Tax Proposal

There appears to be no Biden-Harris policy proposal too cuckoo-for-cocoa puffs for the well-oiled Soros machine to spin as a stroke of genius to manipulate its media coverage in a positive light.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), fueled with $6,230,000 by leftist billionaire George Soros between 2016 and 2022, pathetically attempted to swat down opponents to the Biden-Harris unrealized capital gains tax proposal for the 2025 budget. “Arguments Against Taxing Unrealized Capital Gains of Very Wealthy Fall Flat,” read the Sept. 11 CBPP headline. If that wasn’t bad enough, the CPBB played word games by spinning that the middle class are “often taxed on unrealized gains” to make the ludicrous proposal appear mainstream.

As noted by the Tax Foundation, the problem with this bonkers and novel proposal is that it would add “new compliance burdens for taxpayers and administrative challenges for the IRS while weakening the US economy by raising the tax burden on saving and entrepreneurship.” The proposal is — the Tax Foundation summarized — a “changing” of the “definition of taxable income,” no matter how much CBPP tries to spin it.

Thank you for referencing that article JV3MRC. Please note that the following critique is directed at unconstitutional federal taxes and not at you.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

The main reason that the corrupt Biden Administration is able to rattle the saber about taxing unrealized gains is because of the 16th Amendment (16A; direct taxes) imo.

"16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

Oppressed taxpayers need to support hopeful Trump 47 with new state and federal lawmakers and executives in November, not only so that he won't be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, the new, Constitution-respecting Congress also support him to quickly finish drawing the swamp, including doing the following.

Congress also needs to support Trump in leading the states to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes by repealing 16A, effectively "seceding" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing so.

Noting that the 16th and 17th Amendments (popular voting for federal senators) effectively repealed the Constitution imo, both of them actually need to go.

(Again) "16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
Illegals are indeed getting immediate Social Security, contrary to Democrat claims (7.11.24)
Arizona Sheriff: Illegal Immigrants Being Handed $5,000 Visa Gift Cards, Cell Phones, And Plane Tickets (12.7.23)
Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)

Again, it's up to us Trump supporters to take the first MAJOR step in draining the swamp by supporting hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress and new state lawmakers.

Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.
