      Every single one of these worthless bastards needs to be voted out. A capitol gains tax will primarily benefit wealthy boomers who are heavily invested in the stock markets. The 90% of Americans whose standard of living is stuck on “survive” need the Fed & uniparty to stop their destruction of our purchasing power & standard of living caused by the Fed’s deranged money printing and the uniparty’s drunken-sailer deficit spending.

      for those downvoting

      Middle class have assets they may need to sell for emergencies, this is an increase on that tax to do so

      Billionaires dont sell the assets, they borrow against it

      What capital gains? From illegally twisting and contorting the oil markets daily? Gaming the system?

    4. Average American suffers from high cost of living. GOP: “lets give rich people a tax cut”. Genius

    5. LMAO WHAT????? These people are so out of touch with the average American that it’s not even funny. The average American has nothing in the stock market beyond a 401k.

      The average American doesn’t have anything to earn capital gains on, this is simply another bonus for them and their friends. Disgusting.

    7. “The proposal to index capital gains for inflation could be in play for a tax-and-spending package later this year”

      ““It would be the biggest step we could do to counteract the massive inflation under Joe Biden and the Democrats and have a positive impact on affordability, particularly affordability of housing, between now and the midterms,” said Senator Ted Cruz”

      So Biden is still president?

      Hey…where are the “You can’t tax your way out of the debt” crusaders on this? Isn’t it weird…how quiet they are during tax cut season?

      MAGA voters: tax cuts are amazing. If Trump says so, I am in for it.

      Also MAGA voters: 90% don’t have capital gains.

      This should just tell you how fucking out of touch these dumbass incompetent uneducated no political experience having bitches are

    11. Technically if more people can take money out of the market easier, this destabilizes the market. But less taxes are good overall in my opinion
