Warner Bros shareholders approve Paramount's $81 billion takeover of the Hollywood giant

Retirement accounts like 401's and annuities already exist in a different lane from plain ol stock portfolios. There are heavy penalties associated with pulling money out of them early. I also know you aren't permitted to utilize 401's as collateral for loans, though I'm not sure about other retirement accounts. I don't think it would be all too difficult to carve out an exception for retirement accounts, or to set up a system where accounts under a certain dollar figure are not taxed. Even if it is across the board. As it stands, having untaxable assets that aren't assets unless billionaires want to magically make them an asset to secure funding does not work. My whole thing in this thread is arguing that we *already tax some forms of unrealized gains*. To argue that we can't, to me, is wrong. I have yet to have an individual respond in this thread convincing me that it isn't possible or feasible to tax unrealized gains. I used property taxes as an example, because I personally don't see much of a fundamental difference. Stocks and properties can both be used as collateral assets. They can both appreciate in value. That appreciation in value is only taxable for one asset and not the other? Why?
