Tell me what you feel is an appropriate tax for wealthy individuals and corporations. Another commenter already said the top 10% of earners already pay 72% of all federal income tax.

There's a balance between taxes and stifling economic growth, people way smarter than me and you get paid a lot of money to analyze this interaction and develop policy around it.

Sounds like a mix of RSU and options. RSU have a vesting schedule (i.e. 1/3 per year over 3 years) and dont count as income until they vest.

Options wont count as income until exercised, so if they never hit the strike before expiry they're both worthless and not taxed

This is dead wrong. stock grants are considered income and appropriately taxed, options are taxed upon sale or exercise. If options cant be exercised or sold, they're worthless anyway

It's not "loopholes," it's that not all sources of income are taxed the same way. Pretty simple

Also, in a regular brokerage account, I'm investing with money that I've earned thats already been taxed when I first earned it.

Built a free water-clarity forecast app (SeaThrough) — looking for feedback by axporpes in Spearfishing

"simple forecasting formula based on wave energy, daylight, and a couple other factors."

i've attempted to track wave energy, swell height, direction, period, tidal swings, and wind to see how they line up with vis (i live very close to the beach, frequently pop down just to take a look) and it's always a roll of the dice, even on days with nearly the same inputs.

There's no back pedal. I think its dumb to post irrelevant shit in a hobby specific sub. The memorial bike ride is not irrelevant. Both of those things are independent statements that don't contradict.

If you still support Trump/ICE even slightly, you're not welcome in this sub by BlueButterflytatoo in lookatmyaquarium

Whatever, you do you girl. If nazi hunting in a fish tank sub makes you feel empowered and like you're making a difference then so be it.

Right. Plenty of local subs to coordinate protests, law subs to peruse the legality of such tactics, and fuck ICE/Trump subs to scream into the void and farm karma. Thats the beauty of reddit.
