There is absolutely no reason Capital Gains should not be taxed as income.
It's not income until you put it in your pocket, hombre.
And it's an unrealized capital gain which isn't taxed at all until you sell it and put it in your pocket.
I have no problem with that.
Capital gains are income and should be taxed as such.
I think you're glossing over the obvious difference to make your (poorly thought out) point.
I know exactly what I'm talking about, you it seems do not.
I know a lot about capital gains. If it were the same as direct income it would be declared as such. Lets argue about it for 3 pages.
I'm sorry are you working in Finance now and currently studying this in order to obtain your license?
Because I am.
You do not seem to understand that there is a difference between unrealized capital gains and capital gains.
If you'd like feel free to check in with Diff as well who would be more than happy to tell you that you're the one who is incorrect.
