You're really creating loopholes for the loophole I've allowed? Obviously my off-hand little brainstorm gift to investors would need some regulatory fleshing out past the two sentences I provided.


Well, I have some good news for you. I will give you unlimited sentences to flesh out your plan! The bad news is, I will criticize flaws in your plan, if they exist.


How very fair of you! Here's my new offer: loophole off the table. Capital gains taxed at normal personal income rates in lieu of corporate taxes. Or maybe even higher. Yeah, actually, make capital gains higher than personal income tax, fuck the rent seekers. If you're not even going to meet me halfway in the our little imagined reality playpen, why would I fucking bother?

I don't understand what you're talking about? Are you implying that I'm a libertarian? I already explained that I was not.


Nah, I just like taking any opportunity to point out how horrible Libertarians are, in this case sarcastically imagining a moderate Libertarian, since they don't really exist. That's just a Republican.


Many Republicans hold many views which are directly opposed to libertarianism.


Many others do not. Modern day "small government conservative" is indistinguishable from a "moderate libertarian", whoever that confused asshole is.

Again, I wasn't inferring you were a libertarian, I just like pointing out when a topic flirts with the concept as an excuse to say they suck.

So while I am surprised that the American Libertarian (capital L) party would have such silly beliefs on taxation, it really is par for the course.


Yeah, your friend from high school is a much better source on libertarianism. Maybe ask him about double taxation too.
