Make taking loans on untaxed stocks realized gains. That would have a huge effect maybe not in tax revenue but in perception and closing a massive loophole.

Thank you for laying out why taxing billionaires won’t solve any problems but also it’s not realistic. Most people think billionaires have billions in cash.

Can be solved right now if we made banks prevent billionaires from using stocks for collateral on loans

Maybe a cap for the capital gains cap 500m that they can borrow against this way if they want more they need to sell the shares tax that. Maybe? Not an expert lol

You can tax loans against unrealized gains aka stocks. Simple.

The unrealized gains would cripple the politics. Especially Nancy Pelosi… They need to change the loop holes!

Stop allowing them to borrow against the investment. They would have to sell the investment to live.
