The original capital was. The returns are already taxed. Are you proposing that returns are taxed at some other different rate? At some point the market won't be attractive enough.

A number of the ideas in this thread are a little crazy. I wonder what is the economic potential of a tax that is vested over the people who propose it and their families. For example, it would be like "if you propose taxing wealth at

Assuming wealth is earned, why would you want to tax it? It already was taxed when the individual was working. Inherited wealth is another matter.

Hey thecodefounder and others, if you are in Houston thanks for passing good information along to folks. I think it is time to help and we can leave the political bickering for some other time. There is confusion on the ground as to what to

Gov. Abbot encouraged folks to leave two days before the hurricane hit. Probably good advice then but not today. Mayor Turner is saying to stay put. Probably best advice now since it is too late to move. Remember: follow no politician'

There you go: that's a skill and specialty on the REVENUE GENERATING side. Bottom line, another recommendation is Don't be a COST if you want to go past $200k.

When a baseball bat hits a human's head, it's not the baseball bat (the property) that gets hurt.

Carrying baseball bats and hitting cars or people, as well as throwing water bottles or paint balloons at people, or breaking windows of businesses or houses, is violence, as is using a vehicle as a weapon. It's not too complicated.

Hmm, great point I did not think of. Doesn't the government already know your identity and voting record however? Not that that is not already scary, but if the point is to avoid fraud, then it is not incrementally scarier from a priva

Yes, this is an excellent idea. I had read somewhere (other posters here make this point) that we could give this UUID to each voter. Then, we could give voters a way to verify their vote in the final tallies. This way, if enough voters see
