POG Politics Thread Version 3
Come on in! Since Dustin is taking his ball and going home, it's time to start a new politics thread.
Let's not pretend that price fixing is something only governments do.
Stupid dollar store
You ever notice that noting at the dollar store costs a dollar anymore? Thanks Obama
Bernie spitting truths:
I bet those pro-Hamas protesters are feeling downright joyful the next few days!
Where have there been pro-hamas protests?
who was the surprise special guest at the DNC?
domer bet 40k it would not be George bush
polymarket odds were close to even
it's really insane that it's basically an even money bet that war criminal republican president who stole the election from the Dems in 2000 would speak at the DNC lmfao
but a speaker like michael Moore would probably be arrested if he tried to speak there, or make a documentary about the convention
way to go domer!
zomg domer is still around? I always liked him, had some gamble in him and thought for himself. Although a Roman Catholic iirc, smh. The smart money's on Luther and Calvin.
Joseph Smith or nothing
It's been a little quiet around here. So here's a cartoon features a 1/2 dozen Fllthy's. 😀
Kamala Harris is calling for a 28% capital gains tax rate for Americans who earn over $1 million a year. While it’s an increase on the current capital gains tax of 20%, Harris’s proposal is more than 10% less than the nearly 40% capital gains tax rate President Biden has proposed. The Democratic nominee unveiled her plans while on a campaign stop in New Hampshire. Harris also announced plans for a $50,000 tax benefit for new small businesses, a tenfold increase on the current deduction of $5,000 for startup expenses.
I never saw anything about taxing unrealized gains
do you have a source?
Really? It's been on the news for the last couple weeks. (Or more?)
I watched the whole video, and read/skimmed the whole article, and didn't see her say anything about taxing unrealized gains, or see him cite any sources about her taxing unrealized gains
I'm not saying she didn't say it. but it is an incredibly stupid idea, so I am skeptical
Tax collateralized loans imo. Btw that article makes a mockery of whether people would get money back if their positions suffered a loss, but yeah...that's exactly what would happen. Weird article
charge a rake on stock transactions.
uncap social security tax.
luxury tax on second homes, second cars, yachts, jets, all luxury items
I mean these are easy upgrades that are not even controversial. I prefer much better solutions, like just straight up seizing **** in a revolution. no housing for profit. just no profit period.
but yeah taxing unrealized gains seems so stupid i'd be surprised if she actually said that
or I guess maybe it could work ok if you tax unrealized gains, but then give people money back if/when they suffer losses? idk, seems complicated and stupid

Uhh, not much chance imo that they'd give it back when losses are suffered. That would create crazy swings in tax revenue.
Exhibit A for why I think that: You're already taxed on all capital gains but you're limited to claiming $3,000 per year of net capital losses.
Filthy is right, taxing unrealized gains is a remarkably terrible idea.
LOL, I thought it was a joke that Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris.
It's real.
Trump hate is real.
I assume GW Bush is next.
still no source, or direct link to Kamala saying she wants to tax unrealized gains?
Since when do you care about the fine points?
This might be as close as we're going to get:
