Taxing Stock Portfolios: Proposed Wealth Tax
Proposed wealth tax on stock portfolios aims to tax individuals on the value of the stocks they own, not just on gains from selling them.

This tax would result in individuals having to sell stocks to pay their taxes, affecting long-term investors who may have to sell assets they have held for years.
