Dutch Lawmakers Approve a 36% Tax on Unrealized Crypto, Stock, and Bond Gains

You don‘t listen:

Option 1: Income Tax is as-is, no Tax on (unrealzed) capital gains

Option 2: Income Tax is reduced by 2/3, but as well covers Tax on unrealized capital gains … whereas the reduction was so that total tax revenue the government collects was the same

I do indeed prefer Option 2, as it fast-tracks the vulnerable years of fire, on the expense of those years that don‘t matter much as we already won the game.

Besides: Science indeed favors such tax regime, this is not about left or right but about neutrality and efficiency of taxation. Google dual income tax (slightly different concept but goes in a comparable direction)
