Yes. And that’s a problem.

Buddy is simping for corporations your hobby?
low income service sector workers
This is you saying there’s a “shortage” of people willing to work for unlivable wages and then explaining that’s what makes “prison labor” AKA slave labor incredibly popular.
We get it bud. Corporations love human slaves. This comes as a surprise to nobody. You talking about it like this is a problem with workers instead of the horrifying reality of corporate greed is just gross.

The issue with labor right now isn’t legal allotment but availability and talent. Boomers are exiting the labor pool, immigrants are shut out of the labor market, and the Millennials/GenAs aren’t sufficient to close the gap.
What is this pro-corporate drivel?

Remember, if you order the mushroom hot pot you have to wait a bit before eating it. Maybe you already know this but we didn’t and gave our server a heart attack. 😆 Fortunately we had only taken a couple bites so neither of us experienced ill effects.

It doesn’t.
Housing is extremely affordable compared to here in the U.S. So is food, transportation and healthcare.

I honest to god used 10% as an idea of “ridiculously low tax”
You live in a country that has 10% property tax rates?

Also? A new realization event should be defined: collateralization. When you take out loans against the value of your stock/bond/whatever holdings, you are realizing gains from those assets - you wouldn’t have gotten the line of credit otherwise.
This is a pure red herring. County property assessors are a thing. We already have systems in place to address this concern.

Say you are taxed 10% on the value of all the stocks you own, this means you have to sell 10% of your stocks annually, and by selling stocks you make those stocks less valuable for everyone… so technically they should be taxed less because value drops down?
Just a note, suggesting a 10% tax is pure fear mongering that billionaires and capitalists use to scare people. The average property tax rate in the United States is 1.1% so that’s a reasonable percentage to give. People don’t sell 1% of their home every year.
Property taxes are a thing. Stocks are property.
