Very few would risk investing if Gov'ts,

at any level, started taxing

yearly gains on investments

held for potential appreciation...


It would start a DEFLATIONARY

spiral from higher priced

assets that would also push

down lower tier assets...


Real estate and equities, etc,,,


And Govt's want inflation to

boost tax collections even when

economic growth is flat...


Politicians don't care about

workers when pawning about

boosting minimum wage...


They want to increase tax

revenue collections...


The hell with the cost of

living rise hurting families...


Economics 101 course attendance

should be required prior to any

politician seeking office...


Then the politicians wouldn't

appear to grade so low on the

Common Sense scale...



So we watch...LJ

OT- The Fact that someone can make $600-$700 on unemployement per week with the benefits is just insane. I get trying to help people but give them enough money just to survive to incentivize them to want to work again. Their is no incentive to work in this country anymore.... You should not be making $35k a year to do nothing
