    So, I buy a stock for $100 and the inflation rate for the year is 3% and I sell the stock for $103 - how much money did I really make? Maff is hard for leftards.

    Dazzler's approach to everything is just to lie about it.

    The dazzler loves hypocrisy. As long as it is on the left.
    Prospective changes to tax rates produce incentives? Who knew?
    The fact that increasing taxes on private sector activity reduces private sector activity is still phu*cking news to leftards. The fact that you are a phu*cking ignorant hypocrite is not news.
    When the rate is 20%, people will take profits.

    When the rate is 39%, people will take profits.

    Around the time of the change--assuming it is announced in advance--people either rush to sell (if the rate is increasing) or delay selling. These short term effects disappear quickly. There's this thing called history. You should look into it.

    Just more proof that you never got an MBA. People invest and want a rate of return. That rate of return is after tax rate of return. The higher the tax rate the lower return on investment. That means more risk and less investment. Sort of shocked that your matchbook cover MBA class didn't cover that.

    Fascinating! Except the real world data doesn't support your claim. There's are reasons for that, but discussing them wouldn't be as satisfying to you as pontificating.

    If you're repeatedly getting 3% on money you are putting at risk, you have every right to be upset. But not at anyone here.

    Except every major capital project by business or investment firms runs an after tax rate of return. That's how fascinating it is. You increase taxes on private sector activity and you get less of it. You provide tax incentives for private sector activity - like wind and solar tax credits - you get more of it. When you get around to it you can tell us why gravity doesn't matter.

    We were talking about capital gains. I don't blame you for running from that topic.

    You are drowning here Mr. MBA. You invest in real property or a business, the end game is to sell for more than you paid and that gain is taxed at long-term capital gains rates, currently 20% for individuals and 21% for corporations. The end game is very different if the gain is taxes at 39.6%. Again basic business and Maff concepts escape you.
