    I dislike taxes for one main reason: the government requires individuals to calculate their own taxes and imposes heavy penalties for mistakes. While I have no problem paying taxes as a US citizen, it seems strange to me that I have to do the paperwork when the government already has all the necessary information.

      I don't regret the financial mistakes I've made in the past, as they've all taught me valuable lessons. However, my biggest misstep was planning my finances without consulting a licensed financial advisor.

      I sought the guidance of a financial counselor, and as I near retirement, their advice has proven invaluable. I was initially concerned that compound interest on index funds wouldn’t suffice since I started investing later. It's quite amusing to realize that I’ve outperformed colleagues with more investment experience, having gained over $386k tax-free.

      Wait … what??? … They can’t do that. Can they do that? That’s not allowed. That’s not for them. They can’t do that.
      Proles can’t do that. They get up and work, own nothing, and make more proles. They have nothing but children. That’s what they do.
      Even the ancient Romans knew that. You can look it up. It’s an ancient Republican Rome tradition; search in Cicero. Livy. Tacitus. Varro. Plutarch. Suetonius; a tradition that carries through in all liberal democracies (capitalist or otherwise) and Replublics to this day; and explains why Elon and the GOP today are so obsessed with abortion and the working class needing to reproduce to do the work for them that they exploit for its “surplus value” / profit).

      I'm not defending him, he's just not necessarily wrong. $18b is a lot of money for an individual, but that's less than half a percent of the national tax revenue ( 0.45%). Any number of other programs could definitely take precedence over that. I still think it's awful and he's just another politician serving himself. Someday, we'll elect some public servants who, as the name implies, serve the public.

      As the US Fiat Currency faces a challenge, the measure of their wealth is diminished by the fact that resources from domestic supplies, were exploited until the profits were removed.
      Now the ability to buy from outside suppliers faces the prospect of costs increasing.
      As 100+ Nations attend BRICS gatherings, the cost of essential resources continues to climb. The associations formed among the Trade Representatives who attend the meetings does appear to deny the ability to apply good old fashioned Colonial Exploitation as it has in the past.
      The US form of Industrial Capitalism, now Financial Capitalism faces the cold hard fact of the ability to provide the cheap goods that enabled the lifestyles of the G-7 Nations,
      has faded?

    • @ayoCC
      @ayoCC 5 дней назад +3

      Stock buyback seems like an alternative to dividends.
      Capital gains tax should probably be reworked. The goal should be when an individual receives a small amount it's taxed at 0, then it's a sliding scale, once you hit like 25k in capital gains, you go to 20% +0.1% for each 100 dollars starting at 5k. And then the scale should accelerate from 20k to 100k to 50%.
      And to incentivise new company formation, the buying price of newly issued shares of a company to fund the creation of a new business can be deducted from the capital gains twice or something like that.
      If you paid a million to get a company going and successful, you get to count it as 2 million paid or something. And to encourage shotgun investing, losses from investing in startups actually give a tax free credit for capital gains X1000% for 10 years. So if the investor or firm made a 1 million loss on investments, they can make 10 million on capital gains tax free.
      Butt I'm still unsure if companies should have no capital gains at all.

      Someone making $100 million would pay a minum of $180 million in taxes (their marginal $90 million income x 200% = $180 million).
      I hate to break it to you, but no one is passing a law that says you have to pay more in tax than your actual income. And if they did, no one would pay it because no one does what is impossible to do.

    They just need to stop hedge funds and private equity firms. If you arent helping to create something then you are just trying to destroy it.

      Trump said in an debate with Hilary that he pays low tax because she and her rich friends do exactly the same. Maybe, just maybe, a 80-year-old president that has way too much money is the right guy to fix it, if they don't kill him. At least he's talking about it, and he has maybe the power to change this. For all other people, no matter where you live, it is impossible to go up against those people and companies and that will only get worse. ALSO all tech knowledge should be open source for everybody to use and evolve everything quicker. Gatekeeping knowledge is no good for humankind, only for some rich aholes. I really don't believe anymore in the fairytales but the patents make sure the companies need to make their money back. F off. Deepseek showed us how ignorant the rich are. openAI (OPEN) is mad at Deepseek because they used their data.... While they used everybody on the internets data. But it different when it is you. No single person needs more than 100 million.
