    People that lean left more than a Nascar track. There are also those who will vote for anybody but Trump, but they don't really wanna vote her.

    @FranchiseBlade - as a seasoned investor, what do you think about that?

    ....for high-net-worth individuals (more than $100 million in wealth).

    Literally just saw Jewish Josh Shapiro (what a weird f***ing way to refer to him instead of Governor Josh Shapiro) on NBC. Maybe stop posting twit nonsense that's not in any way verified? Just a thought.

    This is at best very misleading.

    This scenario would not happen to most people, as it only affects those with $100 million or more in wealth. In other words the top 0.01%.

    I think it is hardly important at this point. But yes. I'm seasoned investor wizard. If you'd like lessons ask me. Maybe I'll give you a discount. Maybe I won't.

    Not necessary. Just quit posting absolute bulls*** on your own. Really shouldn't be that hard.

    And how do they measure "wealth"?

    What if you founded a startup that - on paper - is worth $ 1B. You still own 20 %. You have raised, let's say, $ 200 million, but never done any secondary. All the money you raised went into the startup.

    I think you do know that startup valuations fluctuate wildly.

    Let's say you started the company 8 years ago. For simplicity, let's say it did 4 funding rounds which set a new valuation. You got diluted every time, but after 2 years, the company is worth ON PAPER 100 million and the founder owns 50 %, after 4 years 400 million and the founder owns 40 %, after 6 years 600 million and the founder owns 30 %, after 8 years 1 billion and the founder still owns 20 %.

    Founder never did any secondary whatsoever, let's say because the investors wouldn't allow it. So the founder doesn't have any meaningful cash.

    He would fulfill the criteria for 100m wealth ON PAPER at the latest after year 4.

    In Kamala's world, where does the cash come from so that the founder can pay taxes on his unrealized gains at year 4, 5, 6, 7, 8?

    And which founder would voluntarily start a company in the US under these conditions?

    heres a walltreet journal link. Essentially she is piggybacking off of a biden proposal.

    https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/dn...reases-proposed-by-biden-pkuLeYl6f1kXrhN4kWgQ

    If you dont have a WS subscription, heres another link where it talks about it in more layman terms.

    I'm not a moderator here and I have other things to do. You can try to be a decent person and take care of what you post on your own. What other people say and do shouldn't stop you from posting complete lies. You say you're not a trumper, but you post like you're firmly in the Cult of the Stupid like the rest of them. Posting lies that are easily provable to be truths is just one of the many reasons every time you say you're not one of them, we all know you're just full of s***.
