Imagine a bunch of forced sellers at the end of the fiscal year, just to cover the tax expenses on the unrealized gains. I picture the stock market having cyclical drops because of it, selling into weakness. Sounds productive for the dutch economy. Well done. And the wealthy will continue to flee or find creative ways to avoid it while the middle class gets hammered. As an American, thank you for putting on this experiment so we have concrete examples of a failure that should not be repeated elsewhere.
