minus-squareHulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up19arrow-down1·2 months agoI think it’d be great if the tax rate on gains (when selling stock) was based on the entire value of all stocks a person has. So if Elon sell some stock (a dollar or a billion), his gains tax rate is higher than someone selling stock whose entire stock value is less. It’d also be nice if retirement accounts (401k, Ira) were excluded from this.
