Real world income is now defined as unrealised capital gains. That's lunatic, obviously. Under that definition Elon lost $30 billion a couple of weeks back. Hell of a tax rebate then, eh?

Taking a short break from non-stop crises to read this new-ish paper from Liscow & Fox, and it is EXCELLENT.

For the very, very, very rich (the top 0.1% of wealth-holders, those with ~$62 M and up), roughly HALF of their real-world income escapes taxation under the current tax code. That's wild.

Accounting for unrealized gains, income taxes are progressive below the 99.9th percentile, but are not progressive above that. Overall, accounting for unrealized gains makes the income tax look less progressive.
