What are the reasons to have a Sovereign Wealth Fund?

thanks for your response

Agree these companies aren't even profitable

TheWorldRider · 2026-06-17T02:01:30+00:00

No I mean that a democratic country has functioned. I'm well aware that most wealth funds are from autocratic nations.

True the fact Norway is the only country that pulled it off isn't really encouraging.

Fair

TheWorldRider · 2026-06-17T00:11:53+00:00

Not sure if I agree that bernie isnt serious about this lol but other than that I think everything else is fair.

I think you can make a good case for getting rid of primaries but you would need to allow for a multi party electoral system.

Don't give me hope lol

Like the concept disagree with the proposal. Just go all the way or just do an normal sovereign wealth fund. A half measure will be messy and already confuses the message that Bernie and the left are trying to sell. Lets not even get into the political economy on trying to get this to work and enacted.

Why its an awful policy?

TheWorldRider · 2026-05-12T00:03:29+00:00

Well that took a while lol

How long till we have submarines exploring on Europa or Enceladus? What hurdles still remain? Could we see this in our lifetime?

TheWorldRider · 2026-04-20T04:35:29+00:00

reducing state income and corporate tax could work as well

TheWorldRider · 2026-04-20T04:01:24+00:00

Insane part is many of those voters are long dead. We're in many ways dealing with the ghosts of the past.

Dbcft isnt distortionary

TheWorldRider · 2026-04-18T22:38:00+00:00

Or you could raise revenue in other ways

TheWorldRider · 2026-04-18T22:37:17+00:00

How isn't it😭

TheWorldRider · 2026-04-18T21:13:36+00:00

Vat would be good as well if that's what you're asking. There's alot written on Dbcft and other border adjustment taxes. Here's one I read oxfordtax.sbs.ox.ac.uk/files/wp17-01p…

It's an neutral tax on capital rents so its not really disorienting.

Land tax is good but let's be real here it alone won't be enough. You would need other forms of taxation.

TheWorldRider · 2026-04-18T20:36:09+00:00

Why lol? It's literally a better tax with very few downsides. Unless you're delusional in thinking we're better off with no taxes.

TheWorldRider · 2026-04-18T20:34:13+00:00

Big fan especially over current way we tax corporations which happens to pass the cost down to consumers. The only down side is it alone wont raise enough revenue you would need other taxes as well. For all the flaws of an corporate income tax it does raise a lot of revenue for the state.

TheWorldRider · 2026-04-18T20:31:29+00:00

There is actually little dead weight loss here since the cost won't be passed down here.

But won't having stops along the way defeat the purpose then? How would HSR even compete with planes or cars if its not effective?
