    Capital gains tax is applied WHEN YOU CASH OUT THE ASSET. until you liquidate the asset, d o f u s, no tax is realized. The rich do no liquidate their capital except for 9+ figure acquisitions, they take zero interest loans against it as spending money.

    Your snide comment is ironic, as you have no idea how this works.

      Yes everybody knows that. Why the fuck would you think that in any way means we should not tax the rich?
