How about a capital gains tax cut stimulus?

[Asclepias]

Drumpf is great at making all type of deals illegal or otherwise but he is incompetent as a leader. If I want to buy a sack of shit for the lowest price then Drumpf is who I would hire to negotiate the deal.

You know, at some point we all have to realize we are in a very serious time. We don't know where we are headed and the last thing we want to do if fight over whether we have a good president or not. Good, bad or indifferent, he's our only hope that we come out of this whole. Let's stop the childish remarks about Trump and just pray that he gets us out of this global mess. I'm not going to talk about his attributes. Let's just pray we get out of this!

I disagree. He is by no means our only hope. We are going to get through this despite Drumpfs incompetent silly ass. People want leadership and someone will step up. In the meantime people much more intelligent than Drumpf will figure it out. Again despite the orange idiot currently in office.

I just put a post on another thread that I don't want to play this game of Trump is a good president, he is a bad president. No matter who will be or is the president now will have my support. I'm not going to fight you with mindless slams against our president. This year and who over is president next year will have my support. That is the least I can do. The flag I fly is for my country, not the president.

No doubt he is a horrible and incompetent president. We knew this before the virus. Now his ***** ass is responsible for the deaths of the elderly that he convinced to believe the virus was a hoax meant to hurt him. Its unforgivable what he has done.

So who are these elderly that died which you speak of? Care to give us any reports on that, names, places?

I didn't think so.

They dont give you that information on Faux?

Yes, that's what I said. Watching these liberals, and even Republicans alike, striving to save our markets, economy and jobs by passing out checks, would that really do much of anything? I don't think so.

Help? Perhaps a little bit. But ask yourself: if the government gave you a tax-free $1,000 one-time check, what would you do with it, and more importantly, how would your actions aid in economic stability or recovery?

I for one would put my check towards my car loan. Some might payoff a credit card. Some, an extra mortgage payment. Others might take advantage of the low stock prices these days. But is that enough?

Long term capital gains taxes range from 0% to 20% depending on the amount of your investment. Instead of passing out checks, and putting us yet another trillion more in debt, wouldn't it make more sense for a 120 day 2% capital gains tax???

More complicated in figuring income tax by your tax preparer, or yourself? Perhaps However my belief is that investors are looking for the slightest sign of getting back into the market to take advantage of buy low-sell high. A huge reduction in taxes for 120 days (long enough for this virus hysteria to decrease) might give an extra incentive to invest money back into the market right now.

It's more than just the stock market, because if you sell your home at a profit, you get taxed on the capital gains. Such a move might help in new housing along with the market. The best part? No government Wall Street bailout as well.

Capital gains are already faxed at too low a rate.

You do realize the rate is set low to encourage people to invest, don't you? Even Bill Clinton took Newt's advice on lowering the rates for that reason while he was President.

Investing in the market is a risk. Like any risk, the rewards (if successful) has to be worth your time and money to take such a risk. That is what my proposal is based on; to encourage more investing instead of capitulating to fear.

I just cannot imagine having 20 billion dollars and owning the business without sharing the profits with the employees. Any employee who worked there for three years could start getting shares of stock for their loyalty and good work.

Profit sharing is becoming a thing of the past. I used to deliver to only one company that had it. When the company sold to another company, the new company got rid of it.

That doesn't mean you cannot get profits from your company, you just have to buy your own companies stock like everybody else.

Yes workers get less and less....

Yes they do, and the only way for workers to get more and more is to be worth more. Government cannot do that, only the individual can.

Corporation own the government and make sure that doesn't happen.

They make sure that doesn't happen? How?

Go google it. Stop being lazy and turn to another channel to get educated.

It doesn't work that way in forums. If you make a claim, and I call you out on it, you need to provide evidence of such claim or admit you are simply FOS. You can't make a claim, and then ask me to provide your evidence for you.

You dont define how things work. I do. Go educate yourself and then come talk to me. I'm not going to waste time educating a scrub like you.

How about a Capital loss deduction. In our case we would get a refund, not pay any Federal Income Tax as do many billion dollar corporations do.

You don't even know how blogs work, and you're going to educate me? It's quite simple: if you can't prove your claim, then your claim was a lie because you can't prove it. I don't care if you're a liar. If you don't want to show the forum how you are not FOS, then don't ask me to do that for you.

What is to stop all employees from pooling their resources, setting up an LLC with voting membership, and purchasing stocks in the company until the employee LLC becomes the majority share holder?

Then, the employees could vote on how distribute profits (and do so equally among them) and executive compensation.

I have asked this question the "democratic socialists" repeatedly, but I always get either no response or some bullshit excuse. Doing the Employee LLC ownership route would meet the goals alleged goals of these "democratic socialists" without completely destroying our entire economic system in favor of communism.

But, like I said, they either ignore my suggestion or they make a litany of bullshit excuses. My guess is that these commies hate the idea because it means that they must actually work for a living, but who knows. Maybe they will see the light?

Some companies offer stock sales directly, meaning employees could buy it at a discount as a benefit of working there. I don't know if they do that anymore, but how many employees would actually buy stock in the company they work for? They want profit sharing for free.
