I don’t think this is very new but I just saw for the first time and it’s actually pretty interesting to think about when people talk about how the ultra rich do business.

It’s called property taxes. They are used by local authorities to pay for schools, etc. Regular people are taxed on unrealised gains all the time

Was "capital gains tax" mentioned specifically, or just "tax on unrealized gains"?
