I only make a moderate income, and I already feel I have too much money sitting in a bank. It does very little for me, other than piece of mind . I really doubt that the people perceived as the problem with capital gains taxes are actually "banking" that money. Pretty sure they are already full on the bank portion of their wealth.

Dunno, I like not having to hunt down wild tacos, or grow organic big macs. As an old person, I want to my status quo.
What if we can watch clips of it on Youtube or Pornhub?

This revolution is seriously lacking the infotainment factor. Smiley: disappointed

They don't. The reinvest it like gbaji says. But even if they did, where do people think banks get the money to lend for mortgages, loans etc?

But my money in the bank is more or less secure. It's not going anywhere, even if that bank ***** up with their lending policies. It's pretty much a zero risk investment.

Well, I think mines at 0.35%.
But that's not the point. I'm not really "investing" by putting that 100k in a savings account. Not like the money put in real investments.

My point was that the rich having that money in bank accounts doesn't hurt either as it allows others to borrow from banks so its still moving the economy along. Not that it matters because the rich don't leave the bulk of their money in bank accounts.

Also, **** angrymnk and taxing anything at 100%.

Let no one tell you that I am not merciful and full of compromise. How does 99% sound? You get two islands and a chance to scrape an extra 1% here and there.

What the rich do with the money is invest it. You know, in the sort of things that are taxed lower (like, capital gains). The very things which I just pointed out tend to produce economic growth which benefits everyone else and not just the rich person. They don't just stick their wealth in a freaking mattress.
They also buy things you fucking imbecile. Whether those things are real estate or Lear jets or mansions, they buy them.


And? First off, that still has an economic effect (someone built that mansion and jet, right? Many someone's are employed maintaining that mansion and jet, right?). It's not "idle money". Secondly, this is a relative statement. The greater the wealth an individual has, the higher the percentage of that wealth will be put into investment rather than direct consumption.

The point is that the money isn't just sitting around doing nothing.

Quote:
They sock money (fungible and non) away for their children.


Which is always in the form of investment. Unless one is really dumb, I suppose.

Quote:
They donate.


And that's bad how? So in your perfect world no one would have enough wealth to be able to afford to donate to any cause? That seems counter productive. Where would you put the limit on wealth?

Quote:
They give to politicians and PACs.


And?

Quote:
They bribe people and buy their silence. They try to cure malaria. They shoot rockets into space.


Again. And? I'm struggling to find your point here.

Quote:

What percentage of the average riich person's wealth do you honestly think is in a bank account? Seriously? They don't "bank it" anymore than you do. In fact, as a percentage of their wealth, they "bank it" far less than you do.

Quote:
Until you show me in the Constitution where people have a right to buy political power and keep other people in financial thrall, just shut the hell up.


How the heck did you get from "is there a benefit to having capital gains tax rates lower than income tax rates" to this? I'm also curious how you think changing the rates would have any impact on the degree to which the rich might engage in such behaviors anyway? Geez! At least try to make some sort of sense.

Quote:
Your mom's Catholic, right? Does she know the extent of your hatred for your fellow man? Your unmitigated sin? Likely not, you coward.


Wait. So now arguing for a low capital gains tax rate is the equivalent of hatred for my fellow man? Hysterical much?

Negative return after inflation. Most (all?) commercial banks are not worth putting any more money into than you need to have there to manage your day to day financial needs. Enough to ensure you can pay off your bills each month, with some buffer. Any more than that should be put into an actual investment portfolio.

No. All your other "***** the poor" with the addition of "the rich shouldnt pay taxes like everyone else" added to it does.

I dislike people in general, so... if being single is the price I pay for my gradual wealth, I guess I can accept it. Smiley: smile

Though, as my cousins are now finally reaching adulthood (I was the oldest grandchild, by 10-12 years or so) and having children, each time my mother gets a new nephew or niece, she look at me, wondering why she isn't a Grandmother yet.

And each time I think about it, I realize that I'm 34 years old, at my age, my mother already had me going into College... and at my age, my Grandmother found out she was going to be a Grandmother, with my mother pregnant with me. And here I still feel like a kid. Very little responsibility outside of work and taking care of myself and my property (A long family history of teenage pregnancies ended with me.)

So you're saying that my hatred for my fellow man is unrelated to my position on capital gains tax rates? Just checking. You know. So we're totally clear.

He thinks that as long as the thread is active Obama is eventually going to read it and commit suicide on television for doing the same thing every politician in the history of politics has done before, during, and after him.


That's not really my goal, although I wouldn't go against war criminals hanging or dead by their own hand or some kind of court. Obama has murdered thousands of innocent people. And not due to GOP CONGRESS FORCING HIM. He's on his own a **** and war criminal and murdered a hell a lot of people. And not even to mention Libya, or Syria....

Because your society desires Brooding


Sorry for that reply. I meant to type that and do other typing stuff but bam--accidentally hit a tab or capslock or something.


But yeah, society dotes upon mamas and papas and ***** over single humans, same or more or at least akin to their other doting on Military People. Military discount on the local all-you-can-eat. Military preference for housing. And other CRAP.

**** vets. And **** family units who gain favors too.


A single lad or lass who has never been a soldier is utterly ******* In this society of raining gold upon vets and breeding couples.


Again sorry for even this reply. Drunk! But I mean, all the benefits of "vets" is sickening.

Idiots signed up and went to war not for our country, yet still killed a lot of people, great job, here's money. Benefits. Me, a person who never murdered any foreigner for dubious reasons, has to stand aside for seconds while this VET has a quick line-jumping thing. And 10% of if you show your VET STATUS. Etc. Grrr. **** Vets.

I dunno, I wouldn't put mass murder beyond the reach of your average PTA committee member. There's a lot of rage and fury caged up there ready to explode.
