Did I say mandatory? I meant optional! You’re “free” to die in a cardboard box under a freeway as a market capitalist scarecrow warning to the other ants so they keep showing up to make us more!

    You’d have to put some controls in there for that solution to work. Hitting new homeowners with an immediate tax on “earning” $1,000,000 to pay for their house seems a bit cruel.

      The unrealized gains is for 100 millionaires or more. I don’t think there is anyone with 100million in unrealized home value.

        I was talking for a hypothetical world where that law isn’t a thing and simply paying capital gains in “realized” gains is.

        Nut hey, yeah, sure, 100mil works too.
