Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

If you get stock options or stock, that is taxable when exercised or sold.  Options are taxable as earned income.  I don't know of any big banks giving 0% loans, that could be something that happens rarely, or not at all.  And I don't think it would be helpful to preclude loans on assets.

And of course when you sell stock kept for a year, you get capital gains tax rates and you don't pay FICA.

The pure fact is the wealthy do not need earned income, and they could always simply invest in municipals, and some do.

in a funny twist...Neil Young had to delete that letter over his music being taken off Spotify, because he doesn't actually own his own music. The moron sold a 51% stake in his entire publishing catalogue to a company that has since been swallowed up by PE giant BlackStone. BlackStone owns controlling stake in his music, so it's not a decision he can make anyways. Spotify took his music down anyway. Good for them.

Find it funny how anyone is cheering for this guy and extolling his virtues, when (a) he's pushing for censorship which is tyranny, and (b) he's got a looooooong history of homophobia saying very disgusting things in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s about gay people- and when the HIV/AIDS crisis first hit he was spreading medical misinformation in the late 80s saying things in an interview with Rolling Stone (which had millions of readers back then) like he doesn't want some "fa**ot" handling his potatoes at a grocery store because he doesn't want to get AIDS. Whoops, not the way that disease spreads Neil Young! Sounds like a stand-up guy.

+2 on how badly Neil Young sucks.
