If this bill becomes mainstream Democratic policy, wealthy liberals will stop funding the party. We can only hope that Wyden becomes the voice of the Dems - that will destroy the party’s finances and electoral hopes.

If you still own the asset you are still at risk to lose money if the price goes down. You can’t call price appreciation a “gain” because you can’t spend it on something else until you realize the gain by selling the asset. With actual income you can spend it on other assets when you receive it and your employer can’t take back some of it if he thinks your labor value has gone down. There is no comparison between the two types of income and Weyden is an economic illiterate if he thinks there is. A law like this would be laughed out of the Supreme Court if it ever got that far.
