And apparently paying more taxes to fund more wars to kill more people is also moral. And taxes, which are collected with the threat of jail time is also moral.
Be angry with that then. And find the Google lobbyist that created that. My guess is you won't, because these same loopholes have been used since before the HTTP protocol.
Mod Up! Google had to time this perfectly. If they wait too long, Apple will have a Maps product that is sufficient. Right now, they have Apple against the wall. Google can then get their primary ad generating services on the iPhone, puts their main money maker on almost all smartphones.
I am not taking about "inheritance tax", but an estate or death tax. It would hit the dead person. Yes, that means less money to those inheriting, but those people have less a right to the inherited money than they have a right to the money they earned through their own labor.
Suppose the estate is $50,000 and the person set to inherit that money is making $20,000 a year. Is it better for the government to take $1,000 of their labor each year or $1,000 of the estate (before inheritance)? Basically, $1k from a dead person or $1 from a living person?
Now, how about $2k vs $1k? OR $10k vs $1k? In my scenario, take $47,500 from the dead person, but don't tax the living person $1,000 a year on their labor. Basically, encourage people to make money and spend the money. Don't encourage them to disperse their money to others that didn't work for it, but take money from those that did. Just take it from those that worked for it after they are dead.
I want to add that any tax is immoral, as it requires force. I am only arguing what is less immoral.
A pixel has a height and width. If you consider color a dimension (as opposed to a property), then that would be a 3rd dimension. If the color is RGB, that is 5 dimensions. If it is CMYK, then that is 6 dimensions. Add in string theory and you get 17 dimensions.
That's the point. Are you going to argue that taxing the dead person's disbursement is less moral than taxing a living person's labor, assets, or other?
My math was a little wrong. The capital gains tax is only on the gain.
= A * (1-B) * + (A * (1-B) * C) * (1-D) = A * (1-B) * (1 + C * (1-D)) = A * (1-B) + AC * (1-B) * (1-D)
So you make your usual salary (A*(1-B)). Then your "gains" (AC) are taxed by both rates B and D. Basically, both your income and gains are taxed by B and your gains are also taxed by D; hence the double tax on gains.
Although it could be applied to the corporation getting taxed, I've never seen it that way, since the money is getting double taxed, not the person; like in this case.
The effective tax on gains, in this case, would be (0.75 * 0.85 = 0.6375 or 36.25%).
I've never heard of "double taxation" for that reason.
If you make money A, then get taxed B, then invest the remainder in something, then realize a gain rate of C that is taxed D. Theoretically, the money originally earned to do the investment as taxed. After that, only gains are taxed.
= (A*(1-B)) * (1+C)*(1-D) = A * (1-B) * (1+C) * (1-D) = A * (1+C) * (1-B) * (1-D)
Total income: A * (1+C) Is taxed: (1-B) * (1-D)
So if: A = $10,000 B = 25% C = 10% D = 15%
Then, the full income [$10,000 * 1.1 = $11,000] is taxed at [0.75 * 0.85 = 0.6375] (36.25%) rate. If you increase D to 25%, then the rate goes up to 43.75%.
Just take all your profit from that country and "buy goods" from some other country. Now you made no profit and the company in the other jurisdiction made it.
If the problem is with silver spoon children, then why don't you start preaching for a HUGE transfer tax? It would include inheritance and any transfer of money more than $5k-$10k a year. I think inheritance tax (death tax) is the most moral of taxes. You can tax someone who isn't alive, or tax someone's labor (income), or tax someone for using something (use/sales tax), or tax someone's assets (property), or tax someone's gains on assets (capital gains), or tax someone's profit (dividend). Put 95% on dead people.
NYC already has quite a wall. Hurricane Sandy topped it with a crazy high 13 ft (~4m) storm surge. Some coastal areas will be impacted, but nothing that can't be managed locally.
And you need to stop thinking that if one doesn't invent something that no one ever will. Thank God Alexander Graham Bell wasn't killed as a child. We never would have had the telephone!
This was akin to "fundamental research". It isn't the government's job to do high risk investments. IMO, it isn't their job to most investments. I think they should only do investments that help provide everyone with an equal opportunity to succeed in life. Venture capital doesn't fall under that umbrella.
And that was some counter to the GP? Or were you just amending cases of how the government has been wasting money, screwing up the economy by including the likes of the oil and banking industries?
It doesn't make sense as to why it is always "Market Price". I completely understand it being absurdly more expensive, but at least put a price down. The shipping prices of those lobsters don't change that much. All their food is shipped and would be subject to the same changes.

It is a valid point. Probably one of things that is toward the bottom of the list. It is basically fraud prevention.
However, a private entity could do the same thing. The reputation of the private entity would be at stake.
Use the basic case of Verisign. How do you know you are visiting a trustworthy site?
A private entity would better because the cost of that "trust" is on those that want to be trusted. It would not be on the general government revenue.
It is actually 100 years into the future. Stupid Y2.1K bug...

Better question. Who doesn't use or plan to use the tax avoidance structure of 401Ks and (Roth) IRAs?

But with competition, that margin is in check and very low.

Enough with the income tax complications.
