Message to socialists -

"Fair share" of tax means a flat tax (same %) for all taxpayers who pay tax. It does NOT mean fleecing the super wealthy by confiscating their wealth.

After income tax/capital gains tax/wealth tax and inheritance tax, some nations take 65-70% of wealth.
Basic maths - (20% flat tax)

A person who makes $100K pays $20K in tax
A person who makes $1m pays $200K in tax
A person who makes $10m pays $2m in tax
A person who makes $100m pays $20m in tax

Wealthy do pay more tax, even with a flat tax regime.
Penalising the wealthy because they have more money is immoral and wrong.

Inheritance tax is the biggest form of legal theft that exists ---> that capital has already been taxed once or even more than once.

Being ambitious, working hard, saving and investing isn't a crime.
Why do many wealthy people find loopholes and avoid taxes? Simple answer --> tax rates are too high!

If there is a flat-tax system where incomes/capital gains are taxed at a more modest rate across the board, there won't be any reason to mitigate tax and most would pay.

Two and a half years ago, when I first became active on FinTwit and started sharing my high growth portfolio, many called me 'an idiot' or 'a clown'. These critics were sure my 'overvalued' stocks would crash and burn!

Between April '20 and Jan '21, when I repeatedly posted...
...that I felt that we were witnessing a young bull-market, the same critics chastised me again and called me all sorts of names.

Well, my 'overvalued' stocks have done pretty well + the broad indices have been rallying hard for almost 18 months (with minimal pullbacks)...
...Despite this, these 'value oriented' critics and anonymous keyboard warriors still believe that I am the 'clown or the idiot' and they are in fact right.

My 'overvalued' bubble stocks are still strong and the 18 month old bull-market is still running! And I am the 'clown'!?

On 'unprofitable' companies and valuations -

Been hearing for a few years now that the unprofitable hyper-growth compounders are 'bubbles' and they are about to crash and burn.

After all, how can these companies trade at such crazy valuations? Here is a little explanation..
The hyper-growth ecommerce, online payments and software companies are truly outstanding businesses for the following reasons -

- Moats (network effects, scale, switching costs)
- Sticky users (recurring revenue, repeat purchases)
- Asset light (marginal cost is very low)
- Durable growth (not cyclical, prone to booms/busts)
- High gross margins (especially for software)
- Outstanding revenue growth (50-100%YOY!)
- Big TAMs/long runways/still early in S-curve adoption

So, here we have disruptive companies which are growing rapidly within enormous
