Did I say mandatory? I meant optional! You're "free" to die in a cardboard box under a freeway as a market capitalist scarecrow warning to the other ants so they keep showing up to make us more!
I think the real solution is not to lend on fake money. Tax or no tax, it wasn't taxes that caused the market crash in 2008.
Thank you. Even if they pass something it will be written by a bureaucratic bean counter and will be riddled with loopholes.
Simply don't allow loans on stocks. Keep it simple.
All money is fake money, though.
The real money is the friends we made along the way who owe us favors.
That doesn't work. It's not enforceable.
Not enforceable as a law, but not bailing out those who do it is a great way to put an end to it.
I'd rather just have it done than give them another thing they can pressure politicians to bail them out of later.
Then good luck getting a house mortgage because you can't lend based on future income because it's not guaranteed. When I bought my house they incorporated the value of my brokerage account. I wouldn't be able to own a place if they didn't.
With house mortgages it's collateralized against the house, a physical object, but it has only a fake value until it's actually sold because house prices can go up or down.
