Chamath Palihapitiya: 拜登提议提高资本利得税,对高收入者影响较大,可能导致股市下跌。资本利得税增税提案,会使纽约和加州的州级和联邦资本利得税税率分别高达52.22%和56.7%。拜登的资本利得税增税提案可能只是为了安抚民主党内的激进派,未必能够真正通过。提高资本利得税率会减少投资,资金将流向政府而非投资者。提高资本利得税率会惩罚和抑制投资行为,而补贴则会鼓励投资行为。风险资本是美国经济中运作良好的少数几个部分之一,提高资本利得税率是对其的攻击。解决贫富差距问题应该通过改善教育等途径,而不是提高资本利得税。提高资本利得税率虽然可能带来收入平等,但也可能产生许多意想不到的负面后果,例如减少投资。鉴于当前的经济形势和对政府支出的依赖,提高资本利得税可能是不可避免的。媒体对疫苗的负面报道,导致人们接种疫苗的意愿下降。媒体为了提高收视率,会夸大疫情的严重性。接种疫苗后仍然佩戴口罩,是一种形式主义的行为。接种疫苗后仍然传播病毒的可能性很小,不值得过度关注。媒体对枪击案、骚乱和疫苗副作用的报道,会加剧社会恐慌和不稳定。媒体通过夸大疫情数据来制造恐慌,以提高收视率。 Jack Dorsey: 提高长期资本利得税率会对长期投资产生负面影响,并可能减缓经济增长。拜登提高资本利得税的提案,在历史上来看是一个重大的经济政策转变,其经济影响存在争议。 David Sacks: 拜登的资本利得税增税提案很可能会通过,并可能成为未来进一步增税的开端。提高资本利得税率可能会损害美国经济的复苏,因为这相当于对资本形成和投资的一种双重征税。提高资本利得税率会对各种组织机构造成影响,例如养老基金和对冲基金。提高资本利得税率可能会导致通货膨胀上升,因为人们会选择消费而不是投资。提高资本利得税率可能会抑制创业活动,因为这会降低投资者的风险承受能力。提高资本利得税率可能会导致资本外流,对美国经济产生长期负面影响。解决联邦预算问题需要提高问责制,并对政府支出进行更有效的管理。政府增加税收以资助新的支出计划,但这些计划本身并未得到充分的解释和论证。提高资本利得税率可能会损害经济,而且其带来的收益可能无法与预期相符。美国政府债务高企,解决这一问题需要在增加债务、削减开支和增税之间做出艰难的选择。提高资本利得税率可能会导致人们更多地进行消费,而不是投资。解决联邦预算问题需要削减开支,并提高政府支出透明度和问责制。美国经济对政府支出的依赖程度很高,这使得在政府支出方面建立问责制变得非常困难。美国在20世纪90年代取得了良好的经济表现,这与较低的资本利得税率有关。政府应该创造激励机制来鼓励投资,而不是消费。长期维持高水平的政府支出是一种危险的实验,因为它需要大量的印钞或高额的税收负担。克林顿执政时期,美国政府支出占GDP的比例有所下降,这与良好的经济表现有关。媒体对乔治·弗洛伊德案的报道,以及对其他事件的报道,存在偏见和不准确之处。

Deep Dive

Chapters
President Biden's proposed capital gains tax hike from 20% to 39.6% has sparked debate about its potential impact on investment, economic growth, and social spending. Some argue that it will discourage investment and entrepreneurship, while others believe it's a necessary step to address rising federal debt and fund social programs. The discussion also touches on the historical context of capital gains tax rates and the potential unintended consequences of such a significant increase.
  • Biden proposes raising the capital gains tax rate for wealthy individuals from 20% to 39.6%.
  • The combined state and federal capital gains rate could reach as high as 56.7% in some states.
  • Increased capital gains taxes could disincentivize long-term investments and entrepreneurship.
  • The tax hike aims to fund social spending and address inequality but may have unintended economic consequences.
