You're anger is valid. You're missing what the underlying connection to why you can't afford a home.
It's not democrats or Republicans. Your boss pays your salary.
My boss doesn't tax my unrealized gains.
And before you say that only applies to the rich, the income tax only applies to the rich at first. Now everyone pays taxes
You probably don't even own a Honda civic making "unrealized gains"
I actually do own a house, it's not exactly some crazy rich thing to have.
Mid thirties, and I bought it in my mid twenties. And I have a mortgage, so technically the banks money.
Where did "I think taxes on unrealized gains are a bad idea because house prices go up" become "I don't think house prices go up"?
That doesn't even make sense.
And how long before it gets lowered? Remember where income tax started? We have historical evidence of government greed.
