Similar to inheritance tax. Your inheritance is what is left over from what your parents or who ever was already taxed and now you are paying a tax on top of already taxed property. Even with this new 3.8% tax on Obamacare, people will cash out of profits just enough to stay under the threshhold of the tax... This means very little re-investment in businesses meaning no continued growth.My guess is that you will see a lot of overseas type investments with off shore accounts if CG goes up a lot also.</blockquote>
