In this episode of Survival and Badass, host Chuck and Kevin explore the uncomfortable truth about wealth, taxes, and the widening gap between the political class and the rest of society. Buying a house for $120,000 and seeing its value rise to $220,000 in a year could result in being taxed on the $100,000 increase, even without selling the property. The concern is clear: paying $25,000 in taxes on unrealized gains could force homeowners to sell just to cover the bill if values continue to climb. While the minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 for over 26 years, politicians continue to give themselves annual raises that adjust for inflation. It’s emphasized that those in power live in a different reality, where their income adjusts with the cost of living, while everyday workers are left behind. ?
