I wonder if this is in any way related to the threat of having to pay taxes on unrealized capital gains (such as our house! -- according to Zillow valuations)

That is a great connect... well done!! Imagine that: 45% capital gains tax on everything including 401s and IRAS (and people thought these vehicles would save them money because a couple generations made out well. Taxes never go down, especially decades out) Then unrealized gains as well would mean you'd need to sell everything to pay the taxes on it at 25% rate! However, we will be soon entering a period of asset deflation over the next several years. Doubt this govt will be refunding the tax money on unrealized losses

Oh, it's not a threat. It's a PROMISE.

If they're already talking about it, then you know they have it all typed up and ready to whip out at the next "crisis."

After all, "We know better, and it's for your own good..."

It is just a form of direct confiscation. Either that or hyperinflation where the currency becomes worthless, as do the assets they are held in

As an accountant and with everything I know about these evil people, this does not surprise me in the least. Anything to extend their survival time, but falling off the cliff is still inevitable.

All they have been doing since 2008 is propping up a failed system.

None of it will last much longer to matter. By 2027, cycles charts show all the banks collapsing and the Treasury failing.

Their system was designed (rigged) a long time ago to benefit them NOT we, the people. Have you heard the latest on BOEING? They are too big to jail/fail like the bankers, etc., as expected.

Boeing, like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General Electric, General Dynamics, General Motors (anything "general" is "government") are all DoD shell companies masquerading as private companies. In fact most tech companies are DoD and Darpa created. They put up a some nerd "clown" like Zucker, Gates or Elon to front the company as though it were private but is govt/banker entity. In fact, Silicon valley is more "govt" than Washington DC

as a former banker I should remind you that banks investments split into 3 books - MtK book where positions are marked on a daily basis, and capital charge is minuscule (near zero), "ready for sale" book where cap charge is based on formula, in 2000s it used to be approx 6pct p.a. at US based mid size bank, and "held to maturity" book, where 100% cap charge apply (most expensive for bank). So, question is what this time Regulators and Banks intend to do, to twist their books??

The other plan is to tax unrealized capital gains on your home and investments.
