Kamala Harris's Unrealized Capital Gains Tax Proposal Faces Intense Scrutiny
The proposed tax aims to levy 25% on unrealized gains for individuals with over $100 million in assets, sparking debates on its economic impact.
- The tax targets unrealized gains, requiring the wealthy to pay annually based on asset value increases.
- Critics argue the tax could lead to capital flight, reduced investments, and economic instability.
- Supporters believe it will promote fiscal fairness and increase government revenue by $502 billion over a decade.
- The proposal differentiates between tradable and non-tradable assets, complicating its implementation.
- Harris's endorsement aligns her with Biden's broader tax reform agenda aimed at the ultra-wealthy.
