Two posts in violation of a policy regularly broken makes it so if I complain about this bad behavior someone else is using against me, such complaints are not relevant, but I may be banned from your website. Am I understanding this correct

There is a common misconception of the Laffer curve that is based on trying to interpret the data. However, what the Laffer curve demonstrates is that there is a curve, nothing else. Please note that I do not consider anything from Wikipedi

Yes, the primary focus of a business owner must be on tax planning, because this generates efficient operations, undoubtedly. Also, laws change all of the time. My impression, every time I dig down with real people, IRL, is they have the s

I asked the same question, and his response was, "do you really think the government hasn't thought of that already?"

Okay, there is no formal concept or hypothesis of trickle down economics. (However, most PhD economists use the phrase "economic theory," but you may have some insight into this that they have not yet been exposed to.)

One thing not listed in the article is that German tax policy is very export-friendly.

Since you used the phrase "trickle down economics" as if it were a formal economic theory, I discount every thing you stated because you don't understand the phrases you are using.

The one direct exposure I have had to the issue of inheritance tax was with a small Midwest-based distributor. The owner was very old and wanted to pass the company to his daughters, who had actually been running the business for decades (a

There is no actual theory of trickle down economics. This is a derogatory term used as a distraction from discussing real economics.

In all seriousness, the problem is incredibly simple: there is nowhere near enough residential units to support the population, and this is entirely due to the various municipalities complete unwillingness to allow anywhere near enough new

I have a friend who knows next to nothing about different OSs and other various technology thingaroos. He just uses whatever is in front of him. It's not that he can't learn more, he just doesn't care to. He hates Windows 10.

Inadequate wages is not the issue. There simply isn't enough housing. In the most recent 6-year period for which there is data, 500,000 net new jobs were created in Silicon Valley, but only 65,000 new residential units were built in th

I've been in Silicon Valley for close to 20 years, and I have been concerned about this for a long time. I want to say it was somewhere around 2010 that I began noticing a sudden increase in the number RVs I see in non-RV places, such

You are twisting what people want to do. I don't think the goal is to force people out of the homes they own, but to allow property owners to build on the property what the property owner wants to build. If that ends up being a condo o

TPM? Standard critique of TPM includes pointing out that manufacture is a black box of trust. The ability to completely control both software and hardware seems like it would make this scheme more desirable.
