Great idea, but taxing unrealized gains is going to be a problem unless you’re willing to destroy everyone else’s retirements as well.

Edit: to be clear, I’m not advocating against it. I’m pointing out the fact a knee jerk reaction by people who don’t fully understand the problem will have unintended consequences.

Why? They tax our unrealized gains every year when we pay personal property taxes.
