RE: Why I Believe Property Tax and Capital Gains Tax Are a Scam

in #money8 years ago

Ah, I see. Getting stocks instead of money is something that is quite unique to the US.

Still, since the stocks are created just for that, it is an emission.
(The worker has invested her time into the company.)
But the people who buy the stocks from the workers are speculators. And no cent of their money goes to the company.

Sort:  

It allows the company to pay workers in stock in the first place. If no one speculated then stocks would have no market value.
