But unfortunately it’s simpler than that.
It’s the story of a reasonable man that achieved beyond his dreams and then flipped sides because of money and status.
“Suddenly I have an opinion on the capital gains tax.” Type of stuff.
I’m not seeing how you can be both reasonable and believe there is a vast government and scientific conspiracy to cover up multiple fake moon landings. Sort of seems like a one or the other thing to me.
It’s not about what you personally care about, it’s about what you are defining as a reasonable person. It does explain why so many people think Trump is a very stable genius though.
I suspect he means reasonable as in “a normal decent person you could be good neighbors or colleagues with” not a reasonable person as in “a person endowed with the faculty of reason”.
I, too, have an opinion on the capital gains tax. It should be taxed at the same rate as income. We can let them keep the exception on the first half million in profit because I’m feeling nice today.
Or a simple .01 cent financial transaction tax. Absolutely no effect on the average person, a huge way to raise revenue from bankers and stock traders.
I mean that’s beautifully put……

Was he a ‘reasonable man’ before or after he decided the moon landings were fake?
Many reasonable people believe all sorts of nutty shit.
Until it becomes actively harmful, I don’t care much.

Maybe you need to get out more 😝
I don’t personally believe in it, but I also don’t care if you do.

I see. That makes more sense. Thank you.
Bingo.

It’s actually higher in many scenarios.
What needs to be taxed like income is loans against the stocks

Agreed, or just a minimum amount of time that stocks can be owned to kill the high-frequency traders.
Oh yeah that’s right. I forgot about Buy, Borrow, Die.
I agree, though I’d have to do something thinking about the exact right way to implement a tax on that kind of behavior.
Tax idle stock while you’re at it. 1% per share, per current price, per quarter.
