Ahem, only for those with significant assets that would generate a capital gain though, haha.

Mark to market worked so well for Enron and Bear Stearns, why not do the same for the whole USA?

any value you want to real property - whether it be the tax assessor's valuation, a private assessment, or a number plucked from your nether regions.

BUT...

Should you ever list that property for sale, the asking price can be no more than that assessment.

Seemed reasonable to me.

Paying at the pump
Putting food on the table
Cutting the electric bill
Making rent
Reducing health insurance premiums and prescription costs

THESE dammit. THESE are what most Americans wake up to every day and grapple with. Capital gains only matter to the Top 10%

People who pay capital gains tax aren't the ones who are struggling.

Donors are jittery because of all the extreme actions of the Trump criminal syndicate and this is to ease their concerns!

Ted Cruz’s this Joe Biden’s fault for high inflation is pure bullshit. In 2024 we had the lowest inflation
rate in the western democracies of the world except for one product and that was eggs and it wasn’t
until after the election that we really heard about Avian Influenza that caused the deaths of over 150
million chickens which made egg prices go up.

person? More "trickle down" I suppose 🙄

And buy $100 million pieces of art. That in turn will create jobs for the auctioneer, art installer, etc. It’s a great system

on Trump NFTs.

who own stocks have them in their IRA or 401K. That is taxed as income, not Cap Gains.

Will the media point this out in any story, or will it once again just report the Republican narrative?

the only time I paid that was when I sold my house. And it wasn't much.

But I bet the filthy-rich pay it a lot.

So it's just another give away to the filthy-rich.

Of course, it's probably too ridiculous for the Onion.

it had come from the Onion.

I'm so glad the Republicans are FINALLY going to help such a downtrodden and financially disadvantaged voting block.

These rethuglicans are a bunch of clueless, feckless, deceivers.

Oh wait, it's pukes. Proposing a tax cut for the wealthy to help lower voter anxiety is so stupid on its face that even for pukes it's surprising that they think this would work.

Up your flabby, pimply ass.

The rich get handouts, and all we get is the back of the hand.

Only the 1% would benefit !

He is so stupid and out of touch!

But most people should see it as another way to shift wealth from the lower 90% to the top 10%.

Tax. But there is no one I know today is dealing with taxation on capital gains. At he least they could do is not tax on bank interest on savings!

This should land with a pronounced thud.

The Republicans never pass up the opportunity to try and push through yet another tax cut to the financially well off.

Completely tone deaf as always.

Except corporate billionaires.

Maybe headless Rethug voters will buy it. But all it will do is allow more speculation, insider trading, etc. to not be taxed.

Oh, right. Regular people don’t count.

But they think it will please their orange god.

The rich are already voting for them. How would this help working class voters? Are we all supposed to sell our homes?

Notice we get nothing for T's increase on our day to day living. Like someone worried about a capital gains tax is gonna be worried about not affording food or gas. Bah! Humbug! And a pox on all their houses!
