Taxing Unrealized Capital Gains: A Socialist Crime

Kamala’s populist, socialist policies extend to taxing unrealized capital gains. Ostensibly, you would pay taxes on the increase in value of your stock portfolio or your home, even if you did not sell it.
Will she also give a tax credit if your house goes down in value?
Taxing unrealized capital gains is a violation of personal property rights, discourages saving and investing, and could force people to sell their homes if they lack the liquid funds to pay the tax.
