    *sigh* this is getting so boring. The proposed capital gains tax hike in bidens plans was the same rate as those taxpayers would pay for ordinary income. If you make 60k as an American and paid 25% tax rate on your income the same tax rate would applied to your capital gains tax.

    The highest tax rate for ordinary income is 39.6% so I'm not sure where you got your 44.6% rate from but like usual you get all your info from twitter which is why you're braindead.

    Why is everyone on these forums so utterly brainwashed?

    Biden never proposed that tax rate. You're being gas light by a low iq troll

    Yeah the corrupt elites totally love tax hikes and regulations lol. It's so funny just how dumb your talking points are. If you ever debated with someone in public you would be laughed off stage

    Because in his budget changes the existing 3.8% medicare surtax on investment income to a 5% medicare surtax on all income over $400K. So yes, the 44.6% rate isn't just made up. It is the combination of the two taxes, which is currently 23.8%

    *ahhaa silly sigh*

    250k capital gains tax is not what it used to be. It needs to be doubled or 4x. It's going to be difficult for Millenials to retire when 80% of their retirement is taxed at the highest bracket up front.
    We are not talking about 8 digit people. We are talking about people who built retirement by owning a couple investment properties, and a significant amount of their gains are stripped away because the limit hasn't kept up with inflation.

    *Sigh*..... the new capital gains tax rate would only apply to income above a million dollars. Did you even read the link I posted ? What do you get out of lying non stop? Do you not believe that lying is a sin?

    I just don't get why are Americans so utterly stupid. It's so baffling

    I'm swayed. I'll vote for the guy who rants about Gettysburg and says "Wow" to describe important historic battles.

    I'll admit that I have been very unfair to Joe Biden, sometimes we get caught up on sides and completely disregard reality in the name of being right and proving those who think differently than us wrong. Its always important to ask ourselves what is really going on, are we actually right in our beliefs and why is it that we feel the way we feel. Is it because of our up bringing or religion, is it because of our ethics or social status. At some point we have to be honest with ourselves, lay down our bias and accept the truth. Biden actually has helped grow the economy, some may not like that truth but its a fact. Not the American economy but Ukraine has greatly benefitted from Biden, Zelensky has possibly doubled if not tripled his wealth. So have many Ukrainian politicians. Ukraine is building back better and that's thanks to Joe Biden. Joe Biden has helped the Taliban strengthen their military and regain territory, it would have never happened with someone else in control. Joe Biden has provided millions of illegal immigrants safe passage into the U.S, Biden is changing lives. He is making sure criminals don't have to worry about spending a single night in jail, cold and hungry. Its unfair to say Biden has not done anything right, there are tons of corrupt politicians, terrorists and other countries Biden has helped.

    It's crazy how this post has spread everywhere on social media in minutes. Trending everywhere. Pure disinformation spread by billionaires and tech firms who are afraid to get regulated.

    The rich and elite are masters at spreading fear. The braindead sheep don't do research @AroundTheWorld

    Apparently then the Dow is located in Kyiv and “US unemployment rate at under 4%” means “Ukrainian States unemployment.”

    also I guess I’ve been so busy because my projects aren’t actually in Red Wing Minnesota on the Mississippi but Red Wing Ukraine on the Dnipro.
