minus-squarealmost_genocide@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 days agoThis is me pointing to the headline. “The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily” Stocks are property. Easy.
minus-squareRivalarrival@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 days agoMaybe I’m an idiot, but I am just not understanding the ramifications of your argument. Yes, Stocks are property. They are a specific type of property: “intangible personal property”. That type of property is not currently taxed. I am describing a method in which that type of property will be taxed. What does your distinction bring to the discussion?
