@taipan168 @AlboMP Meh I think on the margin you’re right but I don’t think it will be that large of a distortion. I’m more concerned about the regressive nature of some of the changes than taxes on CEOs/founders.

@Josh_Merfeld @AlboMP Yes it will, because at least some of those company founders will choose not to start their companies in Australia.

We’re making sure hard work pays off and everyone has the opportunity to get ahead. Giving young Australians a fair go at buying their first home. And putting more money in your pocket with tax cuts. Our Budget delivers for you.

@AlboMP Hard work pays off, unless you're the founder of a company, where the tax rate when you sell just doubled.

I’m sure I’m not the first one to say this, but Sergio Correia deserves a prize for his service to the profession. I bet if we added up just the amount of hours that reghdfe has saved economists since it came out, his contribution would be in the top 10 for applied research.

There are so many songs I hear where I know the Weird Al version but not the real song. I feel like this must pretty precisely date me.

So why aren’t you arresting these people for treason? I don’t know which is more frustrating, to know that Democrats literally staged a coup against the President of the United States, or to know that the Federal Bureau of investigation can’t find a single person to indict.

FBI Director Kash Patel talks about what he’s proved Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama did “It took me 2 years of my life to prove the following, that a political party in the United States of America in the 21st century would go overseas and hire some bogus intelligence asset to manufacture fraudulent, fake unverified information. Funnel that to not just the intelligence community, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and then take those package lies that they had paid for with campaign finance funds, and go into a secret surveillance court and illegally spy on your opponent to be the next president of the United States. I think that was 45 seconds. That took two years of my life. And what did we find out? The FISA court themselves came back and said these warrants were illegal, that the FBI did not provide evidence of exculpatory evidence and innocence, and that the FBI essentially lied in those applications.” It was a coup. It was literally treason and not a single people has been held accountable. Think about that ZERO accountability even when the FBI Director has proven evidence of treason This is where we are….

No point saving up the wine that I've kept under my bed for the last 12 years for best. Spoiler: it's very very good! 🍷
