Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Its a math trick and nothing more. On the lower end many properties tripled in value over 10 years while higher end homes went up closer to 50%. Now it is just happening in reverse.[/quote]
I agree, look no further than the rich’s charts showing the run up in the bubble.
Although the rich and connected do seem to be doing disproportionately well.
Participant[quote=swave]Investing 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.[/quote]
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.

Participant[quote] little empirical evidence that rate changes, by themselves, either promote or reduce the availablity of capital or labor.[/quote]
This statement is just asinine. Rates change behavior…incentives and disincentives work. Small changes of the tax code are just too hard to tease out of all the other factors that go into the economy
If you tax labor at 100% you will get less labor then if you tax it at 90% and even less than if you tax it at 80% etc.
The same goes passive income and investing. Incentives work.

Participantcorrect…I oversimplified, buying stocks only gives companies capital when they issue new shares.
Increased demand for ford stocks increase their market capitalization which will increase their capital raising abilities when they get to issuing new shares down the road (so to speak).
