Guest[quote=StaunchLibertarian]I’d be in favor of a 35% federal tax on house purchases. That would help the housing market correct right quick.[/quote]
High transfer taxes do affect the housing market. We got it pretty good in San Diego. The transfer tax in San Diego 0.11%. In Philadelphia, it’s 4%. Huge difference.

ParticipantInvesting should be encouraged, but gambling should not be. A variable tax rate on capital gains would have this affect. From 99% tax rate on trades made in seconds or minutes to 0% on investments that last 50 years.

I have thought about this very hard, but this strikes me as a solution which would result in severe market imbalances. Its ripe for unintended consequences. For example, arbitrage trading is something that has problems but also has a valid place in the market.
