Glad I never signed up for that. I did not expect this.

Wikipedia doesn't say my source leans any way nor does it say it's a thinktank, it does for your source though. And that line is cited to another source saying that, you simply can't just edit anything on Wikipedia, it will get changed back. I'm not saying Wikipedia is a great source or anything but better than some rando on the internet saying something. I don't really care about trying to "out-expert" someone (hence why I said that, you simply provided literally no source or authority saying anything, I'm not gonna believe you). If you found something saying my source leaned right and I found something saying your source leaned left, then we are even in that so let's actually talk about the arguments, which you don't seem to care about.Because frankly, what Wikipedia-- which anyone can edit - says is no more authoritative than me or you or anyone else saying so. There's no need for a source on whether or not a thinktank leans a certain way. All that's needed is basic media comprehension.
You then insisted I provide a source. So I pointed out that Wikipedia said the same thing about the thinktank you cited yourself. And then (the cherry on top!) you complained that I DID provide a source, calling it an "appeal to authority"!
Oh, and by the way, your own words:
Literally the only anti-unrealised gains tax argument you've cited from your thinktank was the notion that US citizens would be disadvantaged. Which isn't even true.
Your source didn't make a single valid point...
Dude, I'm begging you to put an iota of thought into this, rather than mindlessly parroting what you can see in the top line of Wikipedia.
I told you what source Wiki uses to back the description of "progressive". The NYT used that term. That is the entire basis of the term appearing in the wiki article.
And the NYT says yours is right-leaning. It is also cited by Wikipedia as saying so (alongside two other newspapers).
Yes. We are even. We have equal basis for calling each other's sources biased. Finally. It's like drawing blood from a stone, getting you to acknowledge the smallest and most obvious thing.
I wasn't relying on a thinktank to make my argument for me-- i only even cited one because you insisted i do so.
I made some arguments myself. Budgets desperately need money, and centimillionaires have more than enough. Wealth accrued through share price increases 1) requires no work, and 2) even when subject to capital gains, is taxed lower than wages, so it's only fair to target it. And if we rely solely on capital gains, our yearly budgets rely on the whims of the rich to sell, which is unreliable. Increasing share price is currently the only method of accruing vast wealth that incurs no tax. They even use it as collateral, so it's not as if it's not actively helping them. So make them fucking pay.
All these arguments have already been made and you've not addressed a single one. Your objections (that it forces people to sell, or disadvantages US citizens) are both false.
Oh, look, it's my health insurance company. I bet that guy that killed him totally had no reason to and was just angry and didn't have a claim rejected.
Edit: No, it wasn't me; I am currently in Columbus, Ohio.

‘This is Nazi Germany stuff:’ Civil rights attorney reacts to Mo. State Senator’s proposed bounty hunter bill
Lawmakers with ties to St. Louis are pushing new bills to create a bounty hunter program in Missouri. It would pay people to turn in people they think are residing in the U.S. illegally.

When having the chance of seizing power through a coup Korea's president Yoon was over the moon, except he cheered too soon and now the whole of Korea finds him a loon. That can't be a boon.
Just saw a "meme" about how Skyrim modders can make hotter khajiit/cat person thing than the developers of Avowed.
So has the anti-woke crowd gone full circle with making furries cool, or have they just always been furries

Just think of it this way. How many times has a hardcore "down with the gays" politician been caught in a rather compromised position with someone with the same genitalia? Same concept.Just saw a "meme" about how Skyrim modders can make hotter khajiit/cat person thing than the developers of Avowed.

Speaking as not having seen the meme, my instinct tells me that the difference between them is probably that the Skyrim khajiit - who is innocent of this crime - probably look like anthropomorphised cats (think Zootopia or Kung Fu Panda) and the modded version more likely looks like an anime catgirl (think Felicia from Darkstalkers, or the harem from shows like Cat Planet Cuties) which trend more towards sexy woman with cat ears and a tail who occasionally acts cat-like.Just saw a "meme" about how Skyrim modders can make hotter khajiit/cat person thing than the developers of Avowed.

I’ve no objection to either and both are well loved but sticking the anime style one into Skyrim via mods and saying it’s way better? That’s just doofy. Mod them in to your heart’s content but don’t pretend Skyrim of all things was keeping true greatness from you or anything guys.

They were comparing mods to the cat creature species in Avowed, not the unmodded Khajiit in Skyrim. But pretty much everything else you said was right on the money.
I forgot to add that Avowed changed it's art style to be more, in anti-woke words, "DEI".
Gonna be some spicy memes in the next few weeks.
Today in the hospital, I was visited by Sinterklaas accompanied by Black Pete, the latter wearing black make-up, thick red lips and a curly wig, because it's that time of year in Belgium again when there's blokes going around in blackface. This one was a woman tho, so it was also woke, cuz gender swapping.
You doing alright there in the hospital?
Yeah, I'm fine. Was just another routine session of kidney dialysis, aside from Sinterklaas-who-was-obviously-one-of-the-male-nurses-with-a-fake-beard.
Good to hear.
About that male-nurse-in-costume part, it's high time we'd go ultra mega woke and gender swap Sinterklaas, get in on that sexy Santa Claus thing those Anglos have been doing for a while now.
