The concept has been around for years. It was vetoed by Carter. India implemented it in 2016. Maybe, we will see it happen.

Would require some effort to index a stock with reinvested dividends.

It would be great if it applies to income property and 2nd homes that were purchased many years ago and subject to capital gains.

One question, where did you read that it would apply to IRA and 401k? I can't see how to index when you have a 401K or IRA for many years trying to determine when you make a withdrawal many years later how the withdrawl is effected by inflation for each stock you purchased with reinvested dividends and stocks you mave have sold over the years since taxes are deferred until withdrawal? I would really enjoy reading how it would work for my self directed IRA as it would really help since withdrawals are taxed at regular rates rather than as capital gains.
