   What happens if some of those tax the unrealized gains bills pass in some country where they have obligations?

   They would have to either pay the tax on gains or write off losses.

      Surely only an absolute lunatic would pass that sort of law. And by then it's too late, because it's Socialism with extra steps.

         Doesn't Switzerland do this instead of capital gains? Makes sense IMO, much better to tax wealth than discourage transactions.

            If the government forced transfer of ownership %, instead of forcing a sale, it would be not as bad?
