    Yep. A very simplistic analogy would be a middle class home owner who's home value doubled over the last few years. He shouldn't have to (and isn't required to) pay taxes based on the new value.
    ??? In Texas your property tax can go up 10% in a year, so your property tax could double in 7 years.

    It's why I said it was a simplistic comparison. I was really just talking about being taxed by the IRS for gains that you hadn't realized.

    So in the last few years, someone's home value could have easily doubled but it would be completely unfair for the IRS to expect you to pay taxes based on that increase.

    As to property tax, that's a whole 'nother level of bull . We live in a home built in the 90's in the country. But now that there's been a bunch of developments built, our home is getting comp'd against brand new homes on a square footage basis. And as to property taxes, they never go down.

    Of the numerous issues our tax code has in terms of not taxing rich people enough, I don't see the issue with unrealized capital gains going untaxed, which seems to be the crux of the complaint.

    The much bigger problem is the bull myth that capital gains should be taxed at a reduced rate because taxing them at the ordinary income tax rates would "impede innovation."

    Ive worked for big corps that maintain billion $ private funds. They have entire departments of tax experts and lawyers for compliance.

    Using things like creating d9zens of s companies for each deal they reduce their taxes to basically nil. And thats just a minuscule thing in their arsenal.

    and idiots here think billionaires play by the book

    This is right. One year (or whatever) is just an arbitrary cutoff. It should all be taxed the same.

    I think most billionaires do play by the book. No reason not to. They have tons of tax advantages without having to do anything illegal to minimize what they pay in. I'm sure they have the best accountants to ensure that all their benefits are by the book.

    Right. The issue isn't the players, it's the game.

    Not sure specific tax benefit you're even talking about but creating multiples en ies for each new deal isn't some novel concept and it does nothing in and of itself to reduce tax liability , most of those en ies are pass through LLCs that get taxed the same way that their parent en y does.

    Making s companies in the Cayman Islands to avoid taxation is not playing by the book. IMHO

    Better question is who doesnt


    According to an early report on the study in The Guardian, Henry’s research

    shows that at least £13tn [$21 trillion] – perhaps up to £20tn [$31 trillion] – has leaked out of scores of countries into secretive jurisdictions such as Switzerland and the Cayman Islands with the help of private banks, which vie to attract the assets of so-called high net-worth individuals. Their wealth is, as Henry puts it, “protected by a highly paid, industrious bevy of professional enablers in the private banking, legal, accounting and investment industries taking advantage of the increasingly borderless, frictionless global economy“. According to Henry’s research, the top 10 private banks, which include UBS and Credit Suisse in Switzerland, as well as the US investment bank Goldman Sachs, managed more than £4tn [$6.2 trillion] in 2010, a sharp rise from £1.5tn five years earlier.

    That's good info but I'll need more than that if you're going to tie it into people like Buffet, Gates, etc.

    Particularly when you can already drive a Mack Truck through the current tax code without risking criminal liability

    Its not that they personally do this. They invest in these funds that have whole armies of ppl that will do this for them. All they say is a promise of a minimum 3x return on the investment and no need to ask any more questions.

    Sorry to inform you but taking advantage of tax loopholes isn't confined to one particular party. It's really the .3% (maybe even .1%) vs everyone else.
