Long term capital gains isn't as big a problem as asset backed borrowing which needs to be fixed. No point in cranking realized gains that hard when unrealized loopholes are far worse and don't affect venture capital the same.

They Downvoted you but this is thoughtful discussion

Just to zoom by the target in 100000 years so quickly no pictures or data can be captured.

For which the original answer is insufficient, but I guess my clarification wasn't eli5. The flavoring extracts do contribute calories but they are too low to be reportable by federal standards and many artificial sweeteners also have calories but are also too low to report.

How is this the top comment... Sodas are flavor extracts at their core. The amount of other things are just there to balance or optimize those core flavors. Sweet, salty, acidic, viscosity, color, fizz... All choices on top of the flavor extracts. Diet soda just substitutes sugar for low calorie sweeteners.

It's not if you actually know what it is and what it's for... A trustless public ledger.

It cannot be that hard to setup a fair tax on ultra wealthy realized gains or wealth transfers, even via loans or other shelters. Focusing on unrealized gains is beneficial though because it forces them to continue to move money around and likely exit some shelter scenarios to cover.

Why be scared when you're so old and out of shape? He's almost cooked as is.

This is just one of a few though.... There's more....

Ad hoc rate just quadrupled

100k for a college fund definitely fixes this. Also he should lose his position.
