Nancy Pelosi pravi, da je davek na premoženje na nerealizirane dobičke milijarderjev na poti

Sinema OKs a Tax on Unrealized Gains

In the scramble to find a tax hike that all 50 Democrat Senators could support, Senator Kyrsten Sinema OKs a Tax on Billionaires’ Unrealized Gains.

Nov letni davek na nerealizirane kapitalske dobičke milijarderjev bo verjetno vključen v pomoč pri plačilu obsežne socialne politike in podnebnega paketa, ki ga zakonodajalci upajo dokončati ta teden, so v nedeljo dejali visoki demokrati.

"Verjetno bomo imeli davek na premoženje,« je v nedeljo za CNN dejala predsednica predstavniškega doma Nancy Pelosi (D., Kalifornija), pri čemer je opozorila, da senatni demokrati še vedno delajo na svojem predlogu, ki tehnično ni davek na premoženje, vendar je zelo podoben tej zamisli.

The proposal under consideration from Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) would impose an annual tax on unrealized capital gains on liquid assets held by billionaires, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Sunday on CNN.

"Temu ne bi rekel davek na premoženje, vendar bi pomagal priti do kapitalskih dobičkov, ki so izjemno velik del dohodkov najbogatejših posameznikov in se zdaj izogibajo obdavčitvi, dokler niso realizirani,«Je rekla gospa Yellen.

The tax is expected to affect people with $1 billion in assets or $100 million in income for three consecutive years, according to a person familiar with the discussions. The idea, for which President Biden recently expressed support after excluding it from his campaign plans and administration agenda, would affect a narrower group of people than the capital-gains changes that have already flopped among congressional Democrats.

A spokeswoman for Ms. Sinema said Friday that she was working with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), who has pushed for an annual tax on the wealthiest Americans’ assets. That wealth tax that Ms. Warren talked about during her presidential campaign would have applied to all assets held by the wealthy. The proposal under consideration, in contrast, would focus on unrealized capital gains and it is expected to include a one-time tax on gains to date. That means a tech-company founder with $5 billion, almost all of which is unrealized gains, would be taxed more heavily than someone who just inherited $5 billion and has no unrealized gains under the tax code.

“I think it’s likely. I’m pushing hard,” Ms. Warren said Sunday on MSNBC of raising taxes on billionaires.

Yellen More Careful Than Pelosi

Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin objected to hikes in marginal rates so this appears to be the default option. 

Treasury Secretary Yellen was far more careful in her wording than Pelosi. The reason being that a wealth tax is likely to be found unconstitutional. 

V: Ali je to davek na premoženje? 
A: My guess is no because it’s a tax on gains, not wealth. 

The proposal by Senator Elizabeth Warren is a genuine wealth tax and easily could be tossed by the Supreme Court.  Warren obviously does not give a damn. 

Ne glede na to pričakujte pravne izzive na podlagi 16. amandmaja.

The proposal taxes unrealized gains. But is there “income” before gains are realized? The courts will decide if this goes forward, but the idea is dubious at best.

PRIPOROČENI ČLANKI

Funding Shortfall

The proposal will likely affect fewer than 1,000 of the wealthiest U.S. taxpayers. Can that possibly cover $2 trillion in spending?

Ni možnosti. 

Mrs. Pelosi said the tax on billionaires’ assets would likely generate somewhere between $200 billion and $250 billion in revenue over 10 years.

Kaj je naslednje?

Assuming Joe Manchin holds firm at limiting spending to $1.5 trillion as opposed to the $2 trillion numbers sloshing around, Democrats “only” have to find agreement on another $1.25 trillion.

Hang On To Your Wallets

A friend commented: 

Držite se denarnic. Tako so nam uklenili prvotno dohodnino. Prvotni davek iz leta 1913 je veljal samo za super bogate in je dosegel 7 %. Povprečen Američan nikoli ne bi bil obdavčen.

Vsi vemo, kako se je to izšlo. Vsi bomo plačevali nerealizirane dobičke še pred koncem desetletja.

Also recall that big gains on December 31, 1999 would have been big losses by the first months into next year (and about ten years for the Nasdaq to get back to where it was). But a tax would have been assessed for 1999.
