The concept already breaks down right here, in my opinion. Especially when you consider that many &#34;investors&#34; are people who have exposure for retirement purposes. But let&#39;s say investors don&#39;t want to eat that tax. Why would they? Wouldn&#39;t their next option be to pass it on to consumers somehow? Price increase, quality decrease, etc.&#xA;&#xA;Unless I&#39;m missing something, pretty much every tax is a sales tax disguised as something else to make the average idiot happier to pay more. This includes tariffs. Property taxes are the only other unique type I can think of, and that&#39;s because they&#39;re perpetual. But ultimately it&#39;s a sales tax too for living in that area.&#xA;&#xA;What am I missing?</html></oembed>
