Did I say mandatory? I meant optional! You're "free" to die in a cardboard box under a freeway as a market capitalist scarecrow warning to the other ants so they keep showing up to make us more!

I said investors

This would effectively lock out every small investor

But sure, now we're just insulting each other, I'm going to ignore that and try to answer your point.

TBH. US tax is weird as fuck, and I don't know nearly enough about it to have more than a high level discussion on it. In my head, this would simply change when you're paying taxes, as opposed to how much.

But.... Nope. Tried to reason about it, can't think of a nice clean way out. It's friday afternoon. I'm out.

What is your alternative solution to the over all problem?

Constitutionally outlaw corporate personhood and all derived market futures. But, that won't solve the core issues with capitalism or human proclivity.

I don't answer questions twice.
