Reminder to the retard seething about dividends last thread that your capital appreciation doesn't fucking matter either. Only total return matters, and if you roll the dice on a stock which doesn't pay a dividend you are more likely going to get less total returns than someone who rolled the dice on a stock which pays a dividend. Don't care about your hypothetical where someone bought AT&T and you bought the next Apple while it was still just a dividend-less penny stock just because it fits your shitty non-existent argument. You want to talk about typical, we'll talk typical. Stocks are just gambling. Eat my bloody, fissure-ridden asshole.

5% tax on profit would slow down nominal growth, which is horrendous for the aristocracy and only benefits the serfs. Why the FUCK would they EVER do this? Get back in your wage cage retard.
