except you can't account for debt without accounting for assets. Japan, Greece, and Italy have the highest portion of debt to GDP (235%, 182%, 133%) except that Japan and Italy are very rich countries, Greece less so...

At the end of the day I think very few people want to actually "pay" the price that a more equal society would entail, but are very happy to have others bear the burdens of "paying" for a redistribution of "opportun

Yup - I was merely pointing out that there is not some massive tax arbitrage (pre-2017 and in the context of the data). For example: Let's say a firm has $5m in net income before paying CEO salary, and let's say that the market ra

Of course you can, what's it going to cost? $20K? $50k? This creates a pretty significant barrier to entry! and that is just to learn what the rules are, let alone comply with them! The end result is keeping small operations out of th

that funds performance is abysmal. but comparing it to a long only fund is not the right benchmark, Long/Short or Market Neutral would be more apt, making the relevant returns less egregious (as they've had a tough run as well). A
