A formal declaration of war, and the battle with the Swifties has been engaged.

edit: another epic rant may be starting:

Unrealized tax on capital gains? That wording would mean the tax on capital gains is unrealized, not a Tax on Unrealized capital gains you stable business genius

Reverse Deportation? So you want to stop deportation and/or import people? JFC

If they are failing, seems like they would becoming less of/not a threat?

Wouldn’t reverse deportation be sending American citizens to a different country? TBH, there’s definitely cases I would at least entertain that argument.

The Unrealized Tax is a bit iffy though. Not sure I entirely agree with it.

What do you disagree with specifically? It only affects people with over $100M in wealth.

Do you think the tax goes too far, and if so, why are you protecting the wealth of the 1%?

Or do you think the tax doesn’t go far enough, and if so, wouldn’t opposition it just mean not passing a tax at all, which would be worse?

Or do you know nothing about her proposal and thought it was going to affect your paltry investment income?

Just from my small brain viewpoint, the owner hasn’t sold the house or anything, so they shouldn’t be taxed, and rent income is already taxed, so if they’re using it to rent, this might trickle down to increase rent costs. Although, on the other hand. This only affects the ultra rich, so maybe they have it coming to them.
