> Millions of Americans sit on appreciated home asset. Should they be taxed?
You live in China and you do not pay property taxes on your home? If you live in America baby, you are not allowed to own anything - especially not homes. For that "right" you have to pay these things called property taxes and you have to pay them all the time...
Once we get some same thing going for securities maybe we can do some comparisons like that - until then ... :) you are too funny mate, I needed this laugh
One could argue stocks be handled differently than homes. Or, to better capture the spirit of the proposal, one would progressively tax unrealized gains used for collateral.
