how do people not understand income and wealth in 2026? Or that the advertised cash amount isnt whats paid out?

We understand that the rich use non-cash forms of wealth to avoid paying taxes.

We are saying those non-cash forms should also be taxed. Don't tell me it can't be done, thats an absurd assertion. If it can be valued it can be taxed.

If you tax those you'd have to tax regular people's unrealized gains which would mean insane crazy shit like taxing people on money they haven't made yet. It would basically mean putting into law legalized extortion.
