Stel, een terreurgroep grijpt hier de macht, voert de sharia in en schiet meer dan 30.000 demonstranten dood.
Dan is het goed om te weten wie het internationaal recht belangrijker vindt dan onze belangen.
Ik hoop dat er leiders opstaan die ons zullen redden.

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.

NEW: Dutch Parliament Member Michel Hoogeveen explains how the 36% unrealized capital gains tax, just passed by the House of Representatives, will work.

Here is a more detailed example:

Step 1. Starting position
You own 500 shares.

Value on Jan 1, 2028: €50,000
Value on Jan 1, 2029: €100,000

So the paper gain is:

€100,000 − €50,000 = €50,000 unrealized profit

You did not sell. But for tax purposes, that €50,000 is treated as income.

Step 2. Apply exemption
You are married, so you get a €3,600 exemption.

€50,000 − €3,600 = €46,400 taxable amount

Tax rate: 36%

€46,400 × 36% = €16,704 tax bill

That bill is due in May, even though you never sold anything.

Step 3. Market falls before you pay
Now suppose by May the shares drop in value.

New total value: €60,000

So your portfolio is no longer worth €100,000. It’s worth €60,000.

But the tax bill is still €16,704, because it was calculated based on the January 1 valuation.

Step 4. You must sell shares to pay tax
To raise €16,704, you sell part of your shares.

After paying the tax, you’re left with:

€60,000 − €16,704 = €43,296

Originally you had 500 shares.
Now you have 360 shares left.

You were forced to sell 140 shares.

140 ÷ 500 = 28% of your shares gone.

Step 5. What happened economically?

Before the correction:
Paper gain was €50,000.

After the correction:
Portfolio is worth €60,000.
Original cost basis was €50,000.
Real gain is only €10,000.

But you paid €16,704 in tax.

So instead of being up €10,000, you are now:

€43,296 − €50,000 = €6,704 below your original starting value.

You turned a €10,000 real gain into a €6,704 net loss.

And you lost 28% of your shares permanently.

Unfortunately communism has found its way to my country. Unrealized gains tax + highest tax rate in Europe on investments at 36%.

Fortunate enough to be able to start a Dutch equivalent of LLC and evade this (this tax is on personal level not company level), but our government is on the brink of wiping out the middle class in my country.

Let alone all employees at companies like Nebius and ASML now need to pay 36% unrealized gains on their investments from 2028 onwards together with one of the highest income tax rates in Europe this will make the country less competitive going forward.

Fun fact is that the politicians know this in fact they are even concerned about it, but folded anyway to close a short term budget gap of roughly $2 billion.

We are about to run a major expirement that will be studied for years to come by economists and that has failed spectaculairly in the past.

Powerful second order effects:
> Listed top companies with share based compensation have difficulties to attract top talent, because nobody wants to work in the Netherlands
> Middle class investments wiped out and discouraged, allowing for them to lean in on social security, which increase costs
> Annual reducation in taxable income for the government in the medium / long term
> Wealthy individuals leave the country
> Reduce risk capital available to invest in the Netherlands directly in opposition with Draghi's EU report.

In fact I predict the results will be so scary and bad in a year or three that this will be reversed as soon as possible, but then the damage is already done. It's like watching a crash in slow motion from the side lines.
