there was a story the other day in some media outlet that i forgot about how every single junior doctor that participated in this study where they drew cartoons of their experiences drew their supervisors as horrible monsters and themselves as mentally broken victims

theres a practice in medicine called pimping, i dont recall the etymology, but basically senior doctors will harass residents and ask them impossible questions in front of patients to make them look stupid and any other way to undermine them and damage their self confidence. to enforce hierarchy i guess but it sounds more twisted than the military's hierarchical philosophy

Also, economically you're not minimum wage, if you work minimum wage and live with your parents, because not having rental expenses is functionally the same as additional income and should be treated (and taxed!) as such. :colbert:

there are no deductions for rent (tho there are for mortgage payments, which if you are living with your parents you are not making under your taxpayer id) so there is no difference in taxation. unless you take the aforementioned mortage deduction being a subsidization of home ownership and realize that that is its own form of penalty for living with your parents.

Two people have 100,000 CU to invest in assets.

Person A purchases a house for 100,000 CU. If he rented that house, he would have to pay 5,000 CU/year. Economically, his asset house provides him with a good/service worth 5,000 CU/year minus maintenance expenses (let's assume linear depriciation over 50 years, so 2,000 CU/year in expenses). Economically person A receives an income from his investment of 3,000 CU/year.

Person B purchases bonds that have a fixed rate of return, earning him 5,000 CU/year in interest. Assuming for ease of example, that he does not have to pay any fees related to his depot, economically B receives an income of 5,000 CU/year.

For taxation purposes, the use of living in his own house is not considered taxable income for A, while the interest of B are taxable income. So despite the difference in economic value derived from their respective investments is only 2,000 CU/year the difference in taxable income is 5,000 CU/year.

Do you really not get how that is an issue with equality in taxation that soley benefits certain kinds of investments? I.e. real estate, which nowadays isn't a realistically affordable option for most people even in Richmerica?

[From an economic point of view a millenial living at home is functionally identical to him making an investment, so the same consequences re: actual economical income apply.]

no, investments need to have actual additional income to be taxed. if they take the money saved on rent and but tech stocks then by all means tax the capital gains otherwise money sitting there and not accumulating value is not income.

That is an overly narrow definition of investment that benefits a subset of asset owners and is divorced from economic reality, imo.

Mainly your inability or unwillingness to understand that money is interchangeable with goods and that it therefore should not make a difference whether an asset has its return in either form.
