Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z:
You buy a Pokémon card for $50.
Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it.
The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes."
You: "…I didn't sell it."
Government: "Don't care. Pay up."
You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received.
Next month? That card drops back to $50.
Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs.
That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax...
Now picture this.
Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off.
But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have.
So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday.
Gone.
To pay a tax on money that was never real.
Now picture the opposite.
Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it.
Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000.
He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore.
Does the government give him his money back?
No.
Does the government give him his truck back?
No.
Does the government care?
No.
They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine.
You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive.
You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things.
It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday.
They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created.
There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate.
I hope you understand what's at stake.
Effective today, Erik Martindale is no longer a registered nurse in Florida.
Healthcare is not contingent on political beliefs, and we have zero tolerance for partisans who put politics above their ethical duty to treat patients with the respect and dignity they deserve.
Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.
@GummoAndrew@DylanEveryday Yeah me too. I heard the bottom feeder sec teams would win other conferences. It’s impossible to have a bad bowl season if you only care about the ones you win though😏
This is pretty amazing. Don’t forget, they tried to throw a bunch of people into jail including the former POTUS for saying this happened. In any world where our press was remotely unbiased, this would be huge news.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Turning Point USA has now received over 32,000 inquiries in a 48-hour time frame to open new campus chapters.
32,000.
Current numbers:
- College: 900
- High school: 1,200
A sleeping giant has awoken.
When the scams run for long enough with no one paying attention, they literally send zero dollars to the kids. Zero.
Many times, I have asked for pictures of the funding recipients. Sometimes, they can’t even come up with a single picture.
Wyatt Hendrickson, a Lieutenant in the Air Force salutes President Trump after his National Championship win.
And walks over to President Trump with an American flag on his back and shakes his hand.
This is what America is about!
