Taxing unrealized gains would be a market dump scenario, not a market pump. Think about it: My stock portfolio doubles in value, but now I have to sell some of it to pay the taxes. Selling pressure=downward price movement.

Everyone else is doing the same, and now my stock portfolio is half its previous value. So I paid taxes and end up with a net worth lower than if I had stashed cash under a mattress. This is why it's economic suicide and a buttfucking retarded idea.
