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.

If you feel this way, just make a donation annually to the IRS to top up your capital gains and dividends taxes to the ordinary income rates.

This sort of of reply always surfaces in these discussions. The best, most non-confrontational, and most sensible rebuttal I've seen was written by WEB himself. I can't find it, but he basically points out that this is an economic issue as to how we structure our society, and that uniform policies are the most constructive. There will always be greedy people, generous people, people with different needs, but a consistent and uniform set of rules works out best.
