Subject: Re: $899
A (very) small silver lining on this from my read is that it appears to ratchet up to the 20% level gradually.

So presumably, if you're an overseas investor and the US government decides your country has been "discriminatory", in theory you could sell your assets and only incur a 5% increased tax rate, not the full 20%.

Of course, making a sale at what might be a very inopportune time just to avoid the larger future tax rate carries its own risks.
