It's much more Christian to not spell it out
If you don't sell, then you don't realize the monetary value of the asset, thus you don't turn it onto a profit/loss, and in the case of profit, it doesn't become unearned income. Economics 101.
When you do sell, and it's at a profit, it becomes monetary unearned income, and you pay capital gain taxes. It's really not complicated at all.

Do you drive to your job on government funded roads?
Yes, and I also pay more than my fair share of federal, state and local tax (especially that 1/2 penny tax for a MetroRail that goes nowhere).
Cool so do I.
Do you think intra and inter State highways should be privately owned?
Since some of them are rarely used and might have been a Congressman’s way of making a buck for his state?
None of our highways are rarely used - it seems no matter how many lanes they expand to, there are more and more cars. Almost every highway here now has Express lanes where they charge extra to travel on lanes that have less traffic. I guess that's some official's bright idea of raising money. BTW, thumbs up for Waze - miracle app as far as I'm concerned.
Jamaica did a selling rights for 15? years/hotel deal in return for China building some highway to what we call "country" (North Coast I guess). And didn't Indiana? (or some state) do something similar. I don't know about that - I do think that a private company doing the job is probably more efficient/cheaper than the government doing it - where the money is going to come from I don't know.
Privatize the roads!
New media consumption channels tend to consolidate, not expand. Netflix is the biggest streaming channel at a time when streaming is still gaining share of video viewing. People don't tend to switch over to other options within a viewing habit. Netflix's only potential downfall is the next video platform after streaming, and if you know what that's going to be you stand to make a lot of money.
Illegal streaming has likely peaked and will probably become more difficult over time, not easier, due to increased security measures and the loss of net neutrality protections.

If taxes would go down and they used tolls for people driving on them I could see people wanting that
Rural people pay taxes for roads for people in city
The increase in the number of cable networks, for example, never killed the biggest cable networks. It really never even affected their ratings. The newer networks just added to total viewing overall, but as cable subscriptions increased people still tended towards the big ones like USA, TBS, ESPN etc. Cable networks weren't really threatened until cable itself started to become obsolete. Same will be the case for Netflix. Until users start finding viewing options besides streaming, they're going to be more than fine.

DirecTV Now working OK so far. Think I'm currently boned as far as FSSW goes for now. Will revisit in October
in season, I sub to slingtv, can lag and halt a bit, but a good price
That worked fine when I tried it; got DTVN for the channels and DVR feature. As it is I could subscribe to two streaming services with HBO, Showtime and Starz added on then also Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime for the price of a regular Spectrum package. It was nice of Spectrum to bump up my speed 4x the past year to handle it all. Of course the other shoe will drop when their net neutrality in the future.
Private companies do build many of our roads.
They just don’t own the majority of them.
And the military.
Its all good.
