The tax on unrealized gains will be a difficult one to pull off without big backlash, but as with most of these policy statements, the devil will be in the details.

Especially with the way these guys use the value in their equity to turn it spendable money it seems like a worthwhile endeavor to explore. If they think they have an approach to make it work, and this isnt know nothings down the pub coming up with ideas, then itā€™s worth taking a serious look at.

His latter years have been rather sad to see.

Much to my motherā€™s despair, my brothers and I worshipped the wrestlers of Hoganā€™s generation. The amount of shit we broke around the houseā€¦

Can someone please explain to me how a former head of state is allowed to access a current head of state and discuss state matters?

Because Trump only makes ā€œperfectā€ calls

He isnā€™t supposed to, and thereā€™s provision for it to not happen, but it can be filed under a long list of things Trump has done that he shouldnā€™t have.

Itā€™s one more example of why he is wholly unfit for office.

The tax thing will get some blowback, but as Limie said, the devil is in the details.

Generally speaking, we have been in a lengthy political cycle where tax cuts for the rich are met with a shoulder shrug, as the deficit piles on more trillions, while a little help for the poor has tended to be met with overblown scrutiny and outrage.

It needs some course correction, but the Dems should tread carefully as this could be a legitimate ideological thing to give their opponent a foothold. Iā€™m not saying donā€™t do it, just be careful.

Morons complaining on twitter this means theyā€™re going to have to sell their house to fund the $60k IRS bill on their increase in equity. Every year.

This is awesome, I need one.

Itā€™s so politically idiotic itā€™s not even funny, or is it a joke?

Sheā€™s a brilliant woman. Even the pace of her speech conveyed her theme of urgency. She didnā€™t pause for applause: just delivered.

Sheā€™s boss. They are weird.

Go on, Momala.

I wouldnā€™t go that far. Sheā€™s still prone to making gaffes when speaking.

But sheā€™s infinitely better than her rival.
