NEW YORK (Reuters) - Billionaire George Soros is "supportive" of the expected plan by U.S. Democrats to tax unrealized gains held by the country's roughly 700 billionaires, his spokesperson told Reuters Monday.

The tax plan is expected to be unveiled this week in order to raise hundreds of billions of dollars to help pay for expanding the social safety net and tackling climate change.

Yep, prepare to pay for something like: "your house went in price!" So the plan is first to create inflation, second is to tax on price gains.  Awesome.
Your house? How about "How much is that Rolex worth ?" Prepare for 'Ridiculous' " (But don't worry, the Left-Wing Media will explain how wonderful it is.)
They say the ultra rich, then somehow it turns into taxing everybody no matter what the income.
Boy, he looks really old in the picture.  Older than...than...well...OLDER THAN BIDEN !
One thing is for sure, Soros will not pay any tax. For the man who controls the Democratic party manipulation is nothing new. Soros is only a great benefactor for his own pocket.
LOL
