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.
