Hello Pezz, <<some money must be collected even as it is in HK>> ... yes. <<We just talkin about who it be collected from>> ... again yes. <<Simple fairness would indicate that all pay some as all gain ...no?>> ... once more yes, and I prefer to pay via creation of employment and participation in liquidity. 'Fair' is a loaded word, the concept of which changes depending on the calculation method. <<I see no reason that those of us that gain our living vis a vie "investments" should be given any special tax breaks>> ... I also see no reason. <<I don't think you have explained WHY … I mean why tax one form of income and not another?>> ... my reason is the not so complicated preference and very simple choice, or, put another way, 'just is'. <<pay their fair share someone's gotta do it>> ... yup, but we must not violate some fundamental principles from which all truths are derived, including the idea of Net Present Value, Internal Rate of Return, and such pearls as the Black & Scholes option pricing formulae which can then be reverse engineered into electrical wave equations, applied to the rhythm of the cosmos, and used to keeping tune with the Force: (a) money is good (b) money is not a problem (c) money works better than aspirin in ridding of headache (d) more is better than less (e) now is better than later (f) under our control is better than under THEIR control Chugs, Jay
