Yes, it was to fund WW1 and which was followed by the great depression. And then hiked again to fund WW2. Which caused periods of low growth and high inflation from 1970 into the 1980s. Historically bad times lol.

That’s not an opinion it’s a facts. What do you this is happened in 2022? Government spending caused inflation which forced the FED to raise interest rates and start QT, to reduces liquidity. All to lower job numbers. When people have less money they stop spending. Which lowers inflation

Govt spending requires a central bank, which intervenes the markets via interest rates and quantitative tightening/easing.
The issue is that many think billionaires are the issue which is wrong. The govt, could tax billionaires 95% and poverty would still be just as prevalent as it is today.

The market can maintain itself due to its simplicity. The issue is govt spending which complicates the market by causing inflation, inorganic growth, non-inflation related govt induced higher prices, and currency debasement.

Liquidity is king in all markets. Products are graded by their value, quality, and quantity. If you take away liquidity then one of those will be affected. Then it’s a domino effect. Markets are very fragile to small changes. I.e. a 0.25% interest rate hike.

What the hell you talking about? No one said anything about it being humanitarian. The point was that he paid $11billion in taxes on realized gains on a great investment. Just like everyone else does.

If you want affordable products then get then remove government from the equation. Billionaires are not the issue. It’s the govt spending. You can either verify this via research or keep complaining about the wrong things. Tax billionaires 90% and poverty will still be just as prevalent.

I’m not standing up for anyone. But I’m not that naive to think that giving our govt more money will make a difference. In fact, it does the opposite. Big govt spending causes inflation and is the soley responsible for the debasement of the dollar.

Loans are provided at lower interest rates. The buy,
Borrow, die strategy exists no denying that. Banks do not care about the interest rates due to the asset value that can show up on their books.
Many can take advantage of the tax write offs but simply lack the know how.

The top 10% of U.S. earners pay 72-76% of all federal income taxes. Top earners pay 39% tax on their income, they don’t get a “special rate.” Loopholes such as the carried interest loophole should be eliminated. Capital gains are taxed at 20% to encourage investing, which is organic growth.

You can’t tax unrealized gains. It’ll kill the market and destabilize/decimate peoples retirement funds.
Private sector companies large and small are generally started by loans. Who do you think loans the money? The entire private sector is ran on market liquidity. Take 3% out and see what happens

Large govt spending causes inflation and is solely responsible for the debasement of the dollar. Evidence is every where from the UK to Canada to the Nordic nations.

They do pay taxes when they sell assets. But no matter what they are taxed, it will never be enough. Anytime you hear that the govt is trying to make something more affordable via higher tax, then you can bet on it doing the opposite. Govt overpays between 50-400% on goods vs the private sector.

That’s idiotic, they get taxed when they sell just like everyone else. Like when Elon exercised his 2012 Tesla options in 2022 and paid $11 billion in federal taxes. You start taxing unrealized gains at any amount and people will take their money elsewhere

You’re talking to about the average American. Yes, emergency funds are required. RN those funds should be in a savings account earning interest while rates are still higher than normal.

No, categorized assets on duration to become liquid. Basic example is selling a house takes longer than selling stock. They do hold some cash. But not much, due to inflation and the debasement of the dollar. Combined is about 9-12% per year in devaluation. So, holding cash is losing money.

Yes, loans are taken out against those assets. Just like a homeowner taking out a loan against their home. Investors get taxed on realized gains just like everyone else. (i.e. When Elon exercised his 2012 Tesla options in 2022 & paid $11billion federal in taxes).

When they do not have enough cash on hand then they take out loans taken out against their investments. Much like you can take out a loan against your house.
As a result you do not pay taxes on the loan.

Do you understand the difference b/t net worth and liquid cash? When market assets are sold into cash they are taxed via income or capital gains tax. (i.e. When Elon sold his $6 2012 Tesla options in 2022 for $1k per share. As a result he paid b/t $11–$15 billion in taxes).

The government should never be involved in building houses. Government spending is the sole reason why things are expensive. You want lower prices? Shrink the size of the government budget and prices will drop

The billionaires do not have liquid cash on hand. They own assets and investments. Those assets and investments are responsible for 25-30% of the job market. You wonder why things are expensive? It’s because government is involved.

The “rich” are taxed between 34% and 37% of their income. If you make $364k a year then you $123k a year. The top 10% of earners pay 74% of the ALL federal taxes. The US doesn’t have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem
