How do you feel about limiting loans against assets and total wealth based taxes?

In general I try to avoid talking about these things because people get touchy and act like the situation is hopeless. Captial Gains taxes does have an affect and it does improve the situation. And obviously what you brought up are clear concerns with how it is often setup today. So I’m interested in how we could continue to make things better in that regard

I’m just spitballing here, but maybe the solution is just, like, you know, tax the rich…

I mean, like, really tax them, all in, you know, no bars, just get in there and tax the hell out of them.

Whad’ya say? Think it might work?

  Yes that’s why I said “total wealth based taxes.” If you want to make a meaningful contribution to the conversation maybe actually read what other people are talking about

    I get it. You want dialogue. Nothing hasty.
    
    There are lots of angles to consider, and one thing for sure is no one ever gave them much thought.
    
    I for one think it would take at least two more decades of development and planning to achieve any kind of tax code that is more sensible and equitable than the one currently in place.
