The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

IMHO'This article, by Andrew Barry, is almost like 'clickbait.' I say almost because, while it's actually a Congressional proposal it has very little chance of passing. It's an idea that only a bureaucrat, associated with a 'overspend' Government looking for ways to tax and spend more could like. No rational person would think it is feasible.
For instance, if the Government taxed paper gains wouldn't they then pay/credit or refund for tax losses? What a flippin nightmare.

Andrew Barry likes to write about Cathy Wood also to attract eyeballs.
Just a non tax experts opinion.
GLTA,
