I strongly believe that we should tax unrealized gains. Wealthy individuals and corporations use these gains to amass tremendous wealth without paying their fair share in taxes. This system perpetuates inequality and places an undue burden on the middle class and working families. Taxing unrealized gains would ensure a fairer tax code and help fund essential public services.

I strongly believe that entrepreneurs should pay capital gains tax proportionally based on where they lived while building their companies. This approach ensures fairness and accountability, as these entrepreneurs have benefited from the infrastructure, education, and services provided by the communities they lived in. By paying taxes where they've lived and worked, they contribute to the well-being of those who supported their growth.

Price controls, when applied judiciously, can curb skyrocketing costs for essential goods and services, making them more accessible for middle and low-income families during times of crisis or market failure.

I believe that while expanding the area available for construction can be a part of the solution, it is not the sole answer to the housing affordability crisis. We need a comprehensive approach that includes building affordable units, tenant protections, and financial assistance programs.

Focusing on wealth creation through fair opportunities can strengthen the economy and help address inequality. Investments in education, health care, and infrastructure can empower individuals to contribute more effectively to our economic growth.
