Sounds about right. Also factor in the ensuing taxation of unrealized gains to shake down the remaining people that are barely holding onto assets. I am sure they will find a way to wedge in that bullshit.

The 'shake down' is not in taxes. It's by those who gave themselves tax cuts and deregulated offshore profits and corporate greed. For 40 years, the 1% have been eating away at the productivity of the 99%, without reinvesting.

Should end tax loopholes. No more deductions for anything. Income tax only and any benefits are taxed, like medical, mortgage, etc. Religious organizations should follow the same tax rules, too.
