I hope that Wiz can live through this.

Thank goodness they have another "the sky is falling" talking point. Because they are losing the culture war.


This includes the new tax on unrealized capital gains.

• It applies only to individuals with at least $100 million in wealth who do not pay at least a 25% tax rate on their income (inclusive of unrealized capital gains). Payments can be spread out over subsequent years.
• Within that $100 million club, you'd only pay taxes on unrealized capital gains if at least 80% of your wealth is in tradeable assets (i.e., not shares of private startups or real estate). One caveat for this illiquid group is that there would be a deferred tax of up to 10% on unrealized capital gains upon exit.
• In short, it would not apply to most startup founders or investors. If any group should be tweeting mad face emojis, it's top hedge fund managers.
  
  State of play: Democrats would need to sweep in November to have any shot of enacting this rule, likely as part of negotiations tied to the expiration of some 2017 tax cuts.
  
  The bottom line: In the unlikely event this becomes law, it's a much smaller deal than the likes and retweets would have you believe.

Kamala's speech summarized:

"I am not who I said I am"

"Everything bad is Trump's fault"

"I think Jews and Palestinians can share their lands peacefully"

"Joy is better than money in your bank account"

We have a choice between a maniacal egotistical madman who will fix our borders, make us safer, and jumpstart a sick economy....or 4 more years of high inflation, rampant crime, open borders and our Constitution dissected and destroyed.

It's your choice. Neither is totally desirable but I'll take the former before the latter any day and twice on Sunday...

Just like how the alternative minimum tax only affects 150 people, amirite? And don't worry about that income tax -- it's only 1% on a small handful of rich people. Don't worry, folks. Even though Democrats are pathological gaslighting liars who lie endlessly about their agenda and policy proposals, this time it will be different!

But seriously, taxing unrealized gains is a terrible idea. Even if it's confined to a small handful of billionaires. Classic proposal from the party that has no real understanding of economics.

Not sure we want to trust two people like Hidin' Harris and Tampon Tim who couldn't pass a sixth grade economics course...

Welp, you probably better get used to it, because it looks like that's who we're going to get. Trump is giving away the election. The Rs are a total mess. Better hope that DeSantis comes back in 2028 with a different campaign manager. But by then it will probably be too late.

[THE_WIZARD_]

The US will be over as we know it if that happens...unless the R's win the Senate and keep the House.

....and I sure hope RFK Jr. has a great personal security plan...

[THE_WIZARD_]

I'm sure now that the DNC is over we can expect a plethora of Kamala hard hitting press conferences and interviews where she answers difficult questions....

heh

Panic. Desperation. With the direction he’s been going lately he may actually cost himself a few votes among the religious right and gain nothing from women.

You all just come to grips with the fact that Republican policies are not popular with the majority of America.

You think they are because you live in your little bubble of right wing web sites, FOX News and Newsmax

But the reality is that most of America disagrees with you.

The only hope you have is trying to scare old white people into believing that brown people are coming to their neighborhoods and regurgitating half-truths and lies.
