Everyone Agrees the Fed Cut Was a Gift to Kamala Harris
[Breitbart] I can’t imagine half a percent will be enough to make a difference to the voters — but anything financial is not what I’m good at. Still, one wonders why the Fed waited so long… # id) ?>

1 They're Democrats. They buy votes. It's all they know.

2 Too late to make an appreciable improvement in the economy before the election, and Kamala's tax on "unrealized gains" will destroy 401Ks, IRAs.

Still and all, expect to hear MSM happy talk about her hand in greatly improving the economy before November 5th

4 /\ Too late to make an appreciable improvement in the economy before the election, and Kamala's tax on "unrealized gains" will destroy 401Ks, IRAs.

Unrealized Income Gain taxes will make 401K's and home equity a distant memory. "You didn't actually build that" portfolio. The Deep State has been planning to seize these assets for decades.

Thousands of new IRS processing agents will be required to calculate the Unrealized Income updates and changes.

Oh WAIT !

5 We pay unrealized gains taxes now. They are called property taxes.

If this hair-brained idea comes to fruition, you will see a massive stock market sell off. Probably an everything sell off if investors must sell to pay the taxes.

Remember: the federal income tax (thanks to Thomas Woodrow Wilson) was only supposed to be for "the rich". Uh-huh.

6 ...no different than EPA standards from the beginning. They keep moving the goal posts to sustain a bureaucracy.

Oh, don't forget, withholding was a WW2 time expedient that never ended.
