Or capital gains should be abolished or live where it already has been or at least is limited to short term holders.

Funny how nobody’s talking about why capital gains exclusions for primary residences exist in the first place. The Congress.gov doc says those loopholes let investment properties dodge taxes, but mainstream folks act like it’s a moral good. Meanwhile, Trump’s 2025 hints at nixing home-sale gains taxes—could that be a bid to boost real estate speculation? Follow the money: who benefits when long-term gains get taxed less? The American Progress piece calls for closing loopholes, but why does the system still favor wealth over work? Maybe it’s not about fairness, but keeping the status quo. Ever notice how "short-term" vs. "long-term" feels like a semantic dodge? Let’s not forget, Australia has no inheritance tax—yet their economy doesn’t collapse. What’s the real agenda here?
