That AND eliminating fair elections, which is why they are not concerned about losing votes. Also why they have weaponized the justice system to put opponents away before they can even participate. Hussein said very clearly that his goal was to tear down the U.S. as founded so he could build a socialist state from the ground up. He is making great progress towards that goal.

Capital gains tax increase is not in any way going to affect the core democrat base (of which a large portion are welfare recipients and govt tit suckers). Just more divisive politics, "we are going to tax all those rich people on the investments that they have that you poor minority people dont have, and we will take that money and put it back into more entitlements for you because we want you to have more and all these people with money to invest, shouldnt have more than you! Y'all be sure to remember to vote democrat in November and we will make sure your EBT card stays full and you dont have to go find a job or work".

I figure democrats and republicans will make long-term capital gains taxed at normal income tax rates. Which would be near that number for top-earners.

Alabama already taxes long-term gains at the max state income tax rate starting at around $10k. That to me is just as outrageous.
