Did I say mandatory? I meant optional! You’re “free” to die in a cardboard box under a freeway as a market capitalist scarecrow warning to the other ants so they keep showing up to make us more!

    Or, how about we just tax everyone equally and keep them from making the rules.

    I don’t know, Professor, why don’t you learn some history to figure that one out for yourself? Why do progressive tax brackets exist? Do you think they just appeared one day?

      And still no reasonable argument on how/why to tax unrealized gains. Just more rich people suck and so do you for daring to suggest that not EVERY law allowing it is horrible.

      I’m out of touch with reality for suggesting that we actually just tax people equally but OP isn’t out of touch for suggesting we suddenly put a tax on an imaginary number because many rich people might be able to abuse it. Classic.

        Oh hey I just saw you a second ago… That’s weird. Almost as if you went into my comment history to try to bother me elsewhere.

        That’s some weird shit, dude.

        Who’s the “anti-social” one?
