Long term cap gains on 80k?

I’m not an accountant but my personal cap gains sent me into a higher bracket so I had to pay more taxes. This was on Bitcoin I exchanged for a Tesla. 16k I owe in taxes now. It doesn’t really make sense to me that I owe money on cap gains at all. The government wasn’t there taking the risks with me. Only once I achieve profit do they take from me. I don’t think that’s the way to do it.

Maybe he's scared of not being able to determine if he woke up in the VR or not. Speculating but damn now I'm kinda freaking myself out. If the ASI wanted to enslave humanity, you go into the Matrix for fun but "leave" into a different Matrix. Kinda cool premise for a book. Probably already done too ha

You said "those are lies" That's not ""pointing them out." Lmao

That right there is why I don't wish to engage. I'm rereading our earlier convo and it's clear to me you don't even have a basic understand of econ. Have you even taken a class on it? You didn't know what barriers of entry was or even economies of scale. This is 101-level man. "Goes to the Pentagon" was not "100% of corp taxe money goes to the Pentagon."
I get it. You're one of those people that can't infer without

I hate the way the government is run more than the avg bc I see it daily for my work but come on... it isn't some magical hand-wave that is preventing this from happening. Just think of how many yards would need dug up for one town to have high speed isp. And if one of the hubs go down? So now you need backups.

So the money sits overseas and not returned to the US economy as the company does not want that money taxed. They'll use it to finance loans and purchases in other countries then ship products back. There's always a workaround. Let the money return to the US or better yet, don't incentivize the companies to go offshore.

> Jobs can be created by the government by
A job created by the government is a job not created by the market for a reason. If the job was needed someone with interest in the sector would have already created the job, You'd miss the opportunity for other more meaningful jobs are the resources are allocated inefficiently for this government job instead.

You'd have to define since income Warren Buffett "makes more than his secretary" but not on his income taxes. Hence why he pays less income taxes than his secretary. This argument was all the rage of politicians years ago and it still bothers me.

You're hostile toward anyone who may have more information than you. That's kind of messed up. But oh well. That's on you. Oh no!! I'm "deflecting!" Hahahaaha. Good luck to you in your future.

> Please inform me where the American tax code states that corporate taxes cannot be spent on the people and can only go "elsewhere".
It doesn't state that in the code. In practice however... there's so many ways to avoid taxes for the big companies your head will spin. Look, what you want is for what? Let's start over and how about you start with that. BS wants to raise taxes on ""robots that take jobs"" however you would define that. Those taxes would not be spent on something like UBI or something like fixing our dumb healthcare system (or roads as I tried to tell you that's other taxes that pay for that). Instead, it would be sent to the Pentagon or other government programs that don't really help the average Joe. Meanwhile, your Mom and Pops that wants to "hire an AI" to do their copywriting will have to pay these new "AI-took-der-job Tax" on top of it their initial cost which will cause barriers to entry into whatever field that MaP Shop is in. The mega-corp will gladly pay the new tax since their economies of scale is so high it's a write off. A tax like this would hurt the very people that he is trying to help.

When you make one I'd address it.

It would. You brought up how you're not American as a defense to your ignorance of how our tax code works. That's fine and reasonable. But here you are still acting smug thinking you're actually throwing insults at me.

See? That's what I mean. I started with "Is that the TDE I keep hearing about?" That was a jab. The fact that you continue to bring it up shows that you have to rely on whatever you can because you're punching up.

Jesus Christ your hubris man... You could be wrong and you know that right? I know I could be wrong. But I have a masters degree in economics and... what you're saying isn't even remotely true! There's no data. There's not logical reasoning behind it. You're making it harder for companies to exist by raising taxes and it increase their risks. The field (robotics and AI) will already be extremely difficult to succeed in but profits = bad to you.

So putting a barrier to entry will cause more pressure on an already difficult industry to be in?

It's currently 9% of tax revenue.

That money is being spent elsewhere. The money you are receiving benefits from is from property taxes, gas tax, sin taxes, or other specific taxes like telephone tax. Sooo I backed up my claim and yet you have not.

Then how is more taxes encouraging faster automation? Why is "much stronger taxation" the solution to you? You're not going to see any of it.

We know. You're avoiding the failures of your own life so much you hope that the singularity will solve them. It won't and you need to stop hoping for it to. It could be generations away so you need to get your act together now. Else you might not make it to the party or be allowed in.
