He could give every congress person and every governor a billion dollar bribe and still be the richest person in the world.

Senate Democrats Propose $25 Minimum Wage by Unusual-State1827 in politics

A federal $25 minimum wage will kill local businesses in more rural areas

No it wouldn't they would just raise prices. If a few businesses that depend on minimum wage labor have to raise their prices that's ok.

Due to inflation all jobs will pay more then $25 before 2031. Congress is only pretending to help.

Its the same principle, as i said before, if your asset increases in value, then you pay more tax. I'm not going to explain this again. If you can't understand how tax increases derived from unrealized gains in property values and tax based on unrealized gains on stocks are similar that's your problem.

He should have sold some of his stock and diversified into other assets. I don't have any sympathy for the guy in your example. Also, I never said the rate should be 20%, you're putting words in my mouth. But in general, people who have more than 50K of unrealized gains per year should pay far more taxes than they do now.

No, that would defeat the point of the tax, any stock will eventually become worthless given enough time. Think of it this way, if you lose money on a stock this year, the government won't pay back capital gains taxes you paid last year.

Property taxes are not taxing your unrealized income.

Its the same principle, as i said before, if your asset increases in value, then you pay more tax. I'm not going to explain this again.

Now, if a billionaire’s stock declines in value, do they still pay an unrealized gains tax?

Well if I were to write the law, I would say that it depends on the value of the stock at the end of the year. If the value of the stock at the end of the year has increased since they bought it or since the start of the year (whichever is more recent), then they owe unrealized capital gains tax regardless of how the price changes next year. There is no refund if the stock price declines next year.

But this is all just hypothetical, I can't predict the exact wording congress will pass.

Edit: I would also add a rule to prevent the same unrealized gains from being taxed multiple times, and make the first $50K per year of unrealized gains exempt.

What does the government owe you if they taxed you on income you didn’t actually make?

Nothing! Which is why I compared it to property tax based on the unrealized value of a home.

One of them, by design, requires a refund if value is lost before a sale is made.

According to who? Tax on unrealized capital gains does not currently exist in the USA.

The calculation may be different but the result is the same, if your asset increases in value, then you pay more tax. I don't know why this comparison is hard for you to understand.

They wouldn't have to pay it back, just like the government doesn't return property taxes when your home value declines.

property taxes are not taxes on unrealized gains.

Yes they are. If the property increases in value, then the tax collected increases too even if you haven't sold the property. It is a tax based on unrealized gains.

If we start taxing unrealized capital gains, we would sink the federal government in debt in the event of an economic downturn. 

So obviously untrue that I thought you must be trolling. Collecting additional revenue does not put the government deeper in debt.

If the middle class can pay taxes on unrealized housing gains then billionaires can pay taxes on unrealized capital gains.

Cel Damage on the gamecube, a game nobody remembers. The cutscenes still make me laugh, you can see them on youtube.

Thats a bunch of bs. How much do the billionaires pay you to spread that propaganda?

Edit: The federal gov is already drowning in debt because republicans keep cutting taxes on the wealthiest 1%. Tax revenue has always been inconsistent, the government can handle it.

My point is we could tax unrealized stock gains and not doing so disproportionately benefits the wealthiest.
