I strongly believe that taxing unrealized gains is essential to address economic inequality. Wealthy individuals often accumulate massive wealth through assets like stocks, which appreciate in value over time without being taxed until they are sold. This allows them to defer paying their fair share of taxes. By implementing a tax on unrealized gains, we can ensure that the richest among us contribute equitably to the funding of public services and infrastructure that benefit all Americans.
