The idea is that you get a bigger return when you buy stock and reinvest it into buying more stok tan you would if you just had a high-yield savings account. And the taxes on dividend income is lower, etc. I seem older because.... eh I have no funny punchline. To your second post: My point was that I thought Slimebeast hated it when the state takes care of people. |
lol
It's about the difference between a small state and a big state. I am for the state taking care of people's basic needs if they are sick or disabled, or get in trouble, like accidents and stuff. And I'm not against universal healthcare (not that u said I was, but Kasz implied it). I don't think I've ever written anything to suggest that I am against basic universal healthcare.
In Sweden elder pensions are mandatory. A part of your income tax goes directly into the pension fund. That will secure a quite decent pension, especially if you actually work your whole lifetime. Some people want to invest additional money though privately to increase their future pension. It has lately become popular because the interest in those funds are free of tax (I think). I thought you had the same system in the US!
