bezos takes a smallish salary, I don’t care about that myth, or them, or unrealized gains. we need to rebalance the tax system. if unrealized gains are really such a loophole, then tax borrowing against it. This would hurt small borrowers too. so what?
the rich man loan problem is a red herring. if we ever rebalanced the system, there would also be political will to close loopholes. thus tax code can be directed at large borrowers or some other solution. your response is the “oh it is hopeless so don’t consider it” crap brought up on reddit every time this subject comes up.

I agree, but you can’t “not care” about these things unless you want to bankrupt the working class.
I didn’t say “it’s hopeless”, I said it’s extremely difficult to do that without fucking over regular people.
And if it’s something that’s “brought up every time this subject comes up”, then you’d think there’s some merit to it, no?
