Let's play the rich get everything. The rules are the rich get everything. participation is mandatory.
(lemmy.world)
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!
Okay but you can just apply the same logic to a HELOC. If you get a 30k HELOC for a bedroom renovation then it does not count towards capital gains tax.
Even normal capital gains taxes have brackets.
Wouldn't this be a double standard if we're applying @[email protected] 's logic? The rich would get taxed on loaned money but the middle class wouldn't?
That's generally how progressive tax brackets work, yes. Technically speaking if I rich person wants to take out a 30k HELOC they'd also not get taxed on it.
that's like the point of the entire system? I mean, I don't want to go back to the 1800s corporate baronies that defined most industry at that point in time
This is how... EVERYTHING works... Income tax brackets, 401k limits. I thought this was pretty obvious, from each according their ability and all.
Oh no... Anyway.
