   Donald Trump Black Hole
   A proposed modest (3% or so) tax on unrealised capital gains for the ultra rich is dead.
   
   Before stl1 weighs in, the rich used one of their democrat puppets, instead of one of their republican puppets, to kill it.
   
   The reason is that they want to prop up the republicans to keep the two party shell game going for another few decades. All theater.
   
   Did anyone actually oppose this? If so I'd be interested to know why.
   
   

   Update (1402ET): According to Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman, the billionaire tax is 'all but dead' thanks to opposition from moderate Democrat Joe Manchin.
