Yep I'm sure that's going to hurt my family. But Biden said no one making less than 400K a year would see taxes increase. I sure as fuck don't make anywhere near that.
Both parties are thieving bastards.

Your average, brainless democrat is unable to remember what happens to THEM, PERSONALLY every time taxes like these are applied to others.

"Well, it's fine by me" they'll say, carefully adding that since they really aren't sure what a Capitol Gain actually is, it must not apply to them in any way.

Sincerely this is correct.  To put it more precisely, capital gains tax is the best way to limit the creation of generational wealth.  And the smooth brain poors lap it up because "tax the rich".  LMFAO, it won't hurt those that have ALREADY created generational wealth you dummies.  

It's literal marxism.  You'll own nothing and be happy.

no he didn't.  and your attitude and understanding about it is retarded and why individual prosperity will continue to decline in the US.


True story: nobody ever looks at the total amount of tax they pay, all they look at is if they got a refund or not.  It's designed that way to keep stupid people stupid and useful.

This will hurt the middle class only, as it was designed to, no matter what they say to the contrary.

I wonder how much of that money goes to NGOs to "build democracy". The reality these are just transfer payments to left-wing groups. Their people are loyal to their side because their livelihood depends on it.

If conservatives were smart they'd cut all .gov payments to these groups. That way you could save a pile of money while at the same time hurting the progressive political machine. Instead, we pay them all kinds of tax dollars and fund our own destruction because we're afraid to look mean

Except he's wrong and his position doesn't make any sense.   It's not "those who make over a million dollars in gains every year" --how would that even work? You made a million in capital gains every year for the last ten years so we are retroactively tax those years at 44.6%? They have some sort of crystal ball and can see your gains in the future?  It's a 44.6% tax on gains in single year, on an asset held longer than a year, so if grandpa sells the family farm he bought for 300K 30 years ago for 1.3 million, he would have to pay 44.6% on that million dollar gain the year he sold it.

  Long-term capital gains tax
A long-term capital gains tax is a tax on profits from the sale of an asset held for more than a year. The rates are 0%, 15% or 20%, depending on your taxable income and filing status. The IRS says most people pay no more than 15% on their long-term capital gains

.Democrats always advertise a "tax on the rich" which sounds okay until you find out that the Democrats think you're rich.

Actually, I'm not assuming anything, I answered the guys specific question about a specific proposal that currently doesn't include raising those lower brackets, based on the information provided.

You're welcome to make whatever doom assumptions you'd like, though, if it helps you feel worse.

"Somehow wins again"

Are we talking about Trump here? Because of the two contenders for November's boxing match, only one is sitting in the oval office. If the election was stolen as asserted, then what's to stop another stolen election again? And if the election wasn't stolen, then he rightfully lost - so how is he going to pull off a win again?

Every scenario is stacked against Trump and OP posits that the potato might not win again.

Comedy writes itself in GD.

Eliminate all unconstitutional federal programs. That should reduce the federal budget by about 3 trillion a year. Leave taxes where they are now, and the debt will be paid off in 15ish years then taxes can be reduced.

This is definitely a start! The amount of programs and agencies funded by our government is astounding.  

You cannot even track where all of it is going anymore. But to think raising taxes is the solution!!
Nope! Cut the spending!

You must be seeing things that aren't there. Somebody else must have been talking about "those who make over a million in gains every year".

But it's not 44.6% on any gains, it's apparently an increase for the top bracket an additional LTCG bracket they want to add to the existing brackets, as I understand it.

Just stop . Yes my IRA is in stocks and bonds...but IRA's are taxed as regular income, not capital gains. My house is still well within the exemption limits, but if I sell it, I'll be putting that money in another house, so guess what...yeah that's right...no cap gains

eta: Also, OP said he's one of us poors, so I took him at his word, if that matters.

eta2: if you wanted to gotcha me, you should have said that the bracket is determined by taxable income, so technically you could have regular income of $500k, and cap gains of only $19k to push you above the current $518,900 top of 15% LTCG bracket. But again, he said he's one of us poors, and I didn't feel like looking up the brackets yesterday.
