What is the positive of punishing investment income? Sounds like another run at "fairness". Until we eliminate this kind of language from teh debate we will never have a decent tax policy. Tax policy needs to be first and foremost about provding sufficient revenue to the gov't for its legitimate operations. It should not be about social engineering, political slogans, or--gd forbid--"fairness".
No.. it is not about fairness... it is about equality in treatment.. and there are positives and negatives that come with it
Yes... sufficient revenue and cutting spending to get to reasonable levels.. very important.... but never lose sight of equality in treatment
Sorry. "Equality in treatment" sounds like "fairness". Can you explain the difference?
Explain precisely if you can what you mean by "social engineering" Rabbi.
