The good shepherd protects the flock, by violence if necessary. He kills the lion, wolf, bear and fox to protect the sheep. The church today seems to only care about some surface feeding ("feelings"). Awareness of the threats is being neglected.

Excellent post. I fear the whole point of taxing inheritance, punishing savings (low interest rates), and taxing capital gains is to purposefully destroy the family and the middle class in order to increase political power over us by eliminating any threat of "improper" wealth creation. The lack of true economic philosophy taught to children is a crime.

I sort of agree. All taxation is theft. The tithing 10% goes to the church and actual charities to do the job the govt took over (usurped) and are elective, not coerced.

Taxes are NOT used to pay for services. The govt creates services to justify collecting taxes. That is why govt services suck. They are designed to get money, not actually solve a problem. (- Thomas Sowell, I think)

First, all taxation is theft. Some talk of double taxation, but that isn't this.

The concept of low-to-no capital gains taxes dates way back to when saved money ("capital") was used to start business and generate production and jobs. The initial savings/capital came from work. Investments deriving from that capital investment were beneficial because they fed the business productivity cycle and were to be encouraged.

HOWEVER, the FED prints free money and the banking system has totally negated the concept of true capital investment and now punishes savings. Therefore capital gains are now simply income that the "correct" people earn rather than those other people. The "correct" people are being magnanimous (virtuous?) in allowing us to partake a little bit in their tax-reduction tool.

The problem is, there is no 17 year old. It's fabricated tale from DoJ lawyers looking for a payout from his rich dad. See the Washington Examiner details.

FYI - it should be 45office.com. The capital O shoves people to the 450 office site and that is just wrong.

A reminder that NYC did not do this. Rather "artist" Winston Tseng did these. Think a bit before commenting.

Absolutely, it is a strength - for politicians. It creates division and conflict for which only government can save us! Notice: Diversity is "our" strength is a political slogan, not a citizen's viewpoint. Also notice that a diversity of ideas if forbidden.

get a Kraken or Exodous account. Swap xrp for eth or btc. Cash out the new crypto via coinbase.

Or, go peer to peer with someone on one of those exchanges.

I found it hilarious. The new generation are not "investors." Since debt has replaced actual capital, it is all about ripping you idiots a new one and bring you back to the real world.

Any Obama holdover or lobbyist, now in power again, can make up any laws they want and Joey will sign it and take the blame. Who needs a stupid congress anyhow. Also, China Virus.

Homeschool kids are absolutely smarter, better informed, and more socialized than all the trolls and vested state education interests claim. First hand experience with dozens of HS kids. Many skip several years at university too, going in as juniors. They avoid peer pressure stupidity, bullying, and mandated conformity.

A Canadian friend outside Toronto just got $100,000 over asking price. 4 days on the market. Standard practice now.
