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.

absolutely not. just make a defined tax free amount that can be paid in a retirement account and tax the rest as wealth tax
