The increase in wealth that the AAPL stock gained from the time you bought it has NOT been taxed, not now and not while it grew. It will only be taxed for the FIRST time when and if you sell it. You don't pay cap gains taxes on the dollars you bought the stock with, and you know it, so don't give me that crap that cap gains has already been taxed.You obviously never bought or sold a stock in your life or you would know that only the gains over and above what you paid for the stock is taxed, and only when the stock is sold, as I said before. That increase in stock value has never been taxed and is not taxed while it is growing. It is only taxed when "realized" AKA "sold," and then at a special lower rate.Do what?
1) its not your money
2) it is not your money
3) it is not your money
Do you libs understand that? do you also understand that taxes are paid on capital gains? do you also understand that most of that wealth has been taxed once?
and before you claim thats not true, I trade stocks with money I earned from my job
Free ride?
Capital gains tax in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
JRK earns the welath by working 10 hours a day
Pays taxes on that wealth
JRK puts part of whats left at risk by buying stocks in an American company that will us that wealth to expand there product, to create wealth and jobs for others
JRK makes gains on that wealth he put at risk (sometimes)
JRK pays taxes on that welath that you my friend at no time lifted one finger to help, and now you call me greedy and you want more
THATS NUTS
It seems that growing tax free is not enough of a special tax privilege to satisfy the greedy, and neither is a discounted tax rate when the stock is sold, the elitist cap gains tycoons want a completely free ride and they have their GOP puppets working overtime to get them that free ride.
bought and sold close to amillion dollars last year
The wealth I use to trade stocks I got from working, that welath has been taxed once, before I ever used it to buy AAPL
Why in gods name you would make up some BS story like that is beyond me.
