I assume that is a reference to Biden's 2025 budget, as summarized below. Harris, as Biden's VP, has said that she supports the Biden budget. A proposal in that budget is a tax of 25% of unrealized gains of taxpayers whose wealth exceeds $100 million.
Quote:
Requires Billionaires to Pay at Least 25 Percent of Income in Taxes. Billionaires make their money in ways that are often taxed at lower rates than ordinary wage income, or sometimes not taxed at all, thanks to giant loopholes and tax preferences that disproportionately benefit the wealthiest taxpayers. As a result, many of these wealthy Americans are able to pay an average income tax rate of just 8 percent on their full incomes—a lower rate than many firefighters or teachers. To finally address this glaring inequity, the President’s Budget includes a 25 percent minimum tax on the wealthiest 0.01 percent, those with wealth of more than $100 million.

So, 29 trillion in debt, how much slave labor would it take to produce the GDP to pay off the 29 trillion? :lol:
So, when the people with over 100 million sell off their assets to pay the unrealized gains, the poors 401k will be blown up before they go home at the end of the workday.
The poors don't get to trade stock while they are out swinging hammers and assembling automobiles.

You're thinking about it the wrong way, which is why you will never have to pay this particular tax. A decline is stock prices is a buying opportunity.
"Trading" stock is not the way to accumulate wealth.
Negative 10 million.
Zero.
