US Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, suggests imposing a tax on unrealized capital gains. This means stock gains will be taxed even when they have not been sold. It also means that taxes will be owed when the value of a home appreciates, even though it has not been sold.

You really don't make a point here. Just the typical doom and gloom anti-libertarian nonsense we see and hear from both sides all the time.

Not once do either side ever take the willingness to address government subsidies created in bipartisan efforts, or even in partisan effort.

Also not addressed, how you would do it differently. If capitalism is so bad, what's better?

Oh right, I know, yet another morons who would say "Democratic Socialism! But we'll get it right this time! There won't be any corruption, certainly!"

Ya'll are lost to the paradigm, and treat consumers like babies with no ability to be taught that they hold the power in making who is and is not a billionair.

Chew on that for a while.

If capitalism is so bad, what's better?

Decentralized grass-roots-up voluntaryist cooperatives and communities (DeGrRoUpVoCoCo = new term?) with a shift from the dependence on the consumerist corporatocracy to alternative solutions like complete autonomy, self-reliance, responsibility, and off-grid prepping and underground networking to to sustainably survive and thrive with deeper purpose, meaning, fulfillment, and well being.

My point is clear. Most libertardians side with big capital knowingly or unknowingly. The problem, however, is that all nations are corporations which issue statue laws. I've given you the actual, legal and "'well-placed' I own everything on legal fictions but don't tell anyone definition" of capitalism, or the issuance of statue laws from which all corporations are born. Modern libertardians have allowed chain corps and food stamps to flourish because the rich want nothing more for classes of which they cannot connect with. Therefore, the problem with Libertardians, firstly, is they allow degeneracy to flourish, secondly, many of the millionaire and billionaire self-proclaimed Libertarians complain about taxes and how 'illegal' it is to impose while they offshore their gains or find probably illegal loopholes to do so WHILE STILL HOLDING US GOVERNMENT PRIVILEGES.

They're too stupid to realize that taxes are, guess what, VOLUNTARY! But libertardian speculators who havn't tilled soil a day in their life wouldn't know the first thing about this, nor would they have ever read the actual charter documents of Association Inc., or the method in which to relinquish their contract with the state because for the most part, they reject the Most High.

Stop contracting with the subsidiary state corps., and Federal corp. known as US Inc., get rid of your healthcare, bank account and stop using their bank credits for cash, better yet, stop offshoring and stealing welfare from those who knowingly contracted with US inc.

Your rhetoric speaks how ignorant you truly are. You are full of catch phrases and stupid isms that have absolutely no connection to what I wrote.

Democratic socialism? Firstly, democratic institutions can exist in a decentralized locality but US Inc., is chartered as a republic, which in latin = charter corporation, which was chartered by congress llc, which was chartered by Association Inc. Therenis no democracy in US inc., land. Socialism? Sure, we've used a form of socialist like programs since reconstruction. In fact, one could say we have communist elements here but it need not matter when all nations from where they are born are corporations owned by a group of men.

What I wrote above and your proceeding response, illustrates that you have no idea what you're talking about.
