My proposal would be to have more tiers of capital gains that would incentivize long term investments. And raise the rate on short term gains. That would also reduce some insider trading if the pay off was lower short term. But I’m just an armchair economist so there’s probably some terrible consequence to this plan I can’t see.
I think you’re getting down voted for two reasons.
OP’s comment didn’t state anything factual. It was rude to accuse him of attempting to “propagate incorrect information.”
You’re lumping together two very different types of spending and it feels like you’re making a disingenuous argument. The vast majority of spending you’re talking about is Social Security/Medicare which has received near constant increases. Welfare programs on the other hand have been under attack since the 90s. I can say that Social Security, Medicare, and the FAA together make up almost half the budget but it doesn’t make a good argument for cutting the FAA.
All that said, I do think you make a good point that there’s other programs to look at. Maybe we can cut the military budget while also looking at saving money on Medicare.
Can you give me a source from CNN/MSNBC/NYT where the meat market origin was created to cover up for Fauci? Your entire premise, save the idea that a lab “might” have been the source, is all conspiracy theory and not at all consensus.
