Have to love Democrats. I wonder if AOC will wear her “tax the rich” dress to the bill signing?

Read the actual article. Here is an important quote: "They would be able convert their stocks into broad-based investment funds or Treasury bonds while deferring any capital gains taxes until they sell off the new assets..."
It is tax deferral, not pure avoidance. The proposal is kicking can down the road based on conversion to a new asset type instead of directly selling for cash.

Tax deferral can be very profitable. Tax deferral is what make IRA’s such a good deal. AOC makes $174,000/ year. So she puts $30,000 a year into an IRA her taxes drop from 32% to 24%. Then she can access the funds and profits at a lower tax rate. There are multimillionaires who have poverty income levels and pay zip taxes,

If Pelosi has this in the bill, it’s not an issue of deferred taxes, but more in her huge retirement fund. After all the piggy bank will close after the mid terms.

Deferring REALIZED capital gains taxes.... while at the same time pushing "wealth taxes" to tax UNREALIZED capital gains on others.
Not at all hypocritical. Nope. They're Democrats, they don't know the meaning of the word.
