You realize tax policies like this can be targeted specifically at ultra wealthy people with hundreds or thousands of millions of dollars in assets?

You don't have to worry, that's not you.

The government is currently borrowing 2 trillion dollars a year and paying interest on it, they pay that interest with tax money

Why are they borrowing money in the first place? Mostly because instead of taxing rich people, they borrow from them, and then pay rich people back interest (again with your tax money)

20% of all federal tax income goes just to paying interest

How much taxation do you think that "loophole"(it's not a loophole) accounts for? Cracking down on it would accrue something like 10 billion dollars a year. It's largely a myth.

>>748744187
That loophole (taking out loans against your stocks instead of selling them, entirely avoiding capital gains tax and thus paying literally $0 in tax)

Is the primary method of "income" of the ultra wealthy,

If you were to close it, and tax them at just 2% of their total net worth a year, it would bring in several trillions of dollars of tax income entirely eliminating the deficit and actually allowing the debt to be paid down

Move to somewhere by the beach that has nice weather year round, is safe, and with mostly white people. Open up a little espresso shop near the beach, hire a few hot 18 year old female employees that I can enjoy looking at (but not fucking because obviously I'm asking for trouble if doing that), open at 10, close at 2, and enjoy the rest of the day fucking around on the beach. If you asked me two years ago, it would be that, PLUS "start a small gaming studio", but with AI's advancements, that seems like a waste of time and funds now since the market will be deeply saturated soon.
>>
>>748743259
No, it's not. But retards like you think it is. "Oh man, look at the infrastructure, they are so beating the US." And less than 2 years later the infrastructure collapses and most of the buildings are empty with common people living in shitholes, and it turns out it was all a shell game that drained hundreds of billions out of China's economy. "Oh, man, look at their military! So much better!" Then Maduro meets the man and China's tech is proven to be so shit that China stopped every single bit of its saber rattling. "Oh man, China's AI is so much better!" Then it turned out it was literally copy and pasted Claude AI, and so poorly copy and pasted it instantly integrated with the Claude servers and revealed a bunch of China's state secrets.

China is just slant eyed India with better thieves and more reliable international welfare support for their shit system. They rely entirely on IP theft and making people dependent on their poor manufacturing, and the instant some of that starts to go away they begin to collapse. And yet still, despite every time being shown China is all smoke and mirrors, you fags come out and go, "Man, China is eating everyone's lunch!"

Jesus, you'd think if nothing else China's state of video games would make you realize China is full of shit. 99.99% of their games are the shittiest form of gacha and gaas, and outside of Wukong the 0.01% of their non-gacha and non-gaas games have been trash.

Why does it account for such a small amount of their income then

It is $0 income, taking out a loan is technically negative money on paper, some years billionaires literally have $0 income and thus pay $0 income tax.
>>
>>748746515
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5104644
>>
>>748746427
It is a practical income, not technical income. Suppose you have $100 iron bars. You sell those bars for $100 and now you owe the gubmint say $35.

Now suppose you have the same iron bars and you go to a bank and show them that you do indeed have those iron bars, then take out a loan and if you become insolvent, the iron bars are a collateral. Now you owe the bank $10 over the next year. Your "profit" is the $25 difference. Also you are owed dividends which you use to cover the loan. Or you take another loan to pay the previous loan. If you realize dividends once per year, you owe the gubmint perhaps 7-10%, depending on the country. Basically the more rich you are, the less you pay.

And it's hard to change too because if you're gonna tax me harder I just move my business elsewhere. High taxation works only in countries with low corruption and reliable legal system (white high trust society).

He secretly resents Minecraft and I get it

He stumbled upon the perfect formula for an indie game that'd blow the market open and become the most popular game of all time.

It's his magnum opus.
People hate his guts for his opinions as a person
And
Nobody respects what he does as a game developer because anything afterwards will get compared to Minecraft and there isn't going to be anything that he can make that'd be better than it.

Sure just do a game with a story Minecraft has no story surely that'd be easier right? Guy ain't him for stories. He's a programmer who got inspired by fucking infiniminer. He ain't going be Homer writing the Odyssey.

I'd either end up making like 2 games before going through my entire hoard or need to make my company open to (((investors))) and then I'd make garbage. There are more games that I could ever hope to play in 10 lifetimes.

Nope, I don't have an unrealistic grasp of myself or my abilities, exactly why I wouldn't throw money into a blender trying to make my own games. Closest I'd go is probably paying to make mods.
