    Just because im from here, doesn't mean that my political views matches with those of regional goverment, that's why it was taken as something personal ; seems that i was wrong,
    - sorry for that.

    I do prefer capitalism. I do agree that,- that which is yours, should remain yours.
    (Even after death, if one can say so)

    But, despite all of the ideas, despite of all options, any tax could be avoided. Most likely, by moving to another country/state.

    So it's a - pointless discussion.

    P.s Heard that California is about to come up with some laws,that will ,,hunt" you, even after 10 years, if one moves to e.g Texas for lower taxes.

    Not an inspiring vote of confidence. DB is a clown show.

    If DB is in desperate straits why shouldn't management go for a home run. It is only shareholder's money.

    It’s actually far more craven and cynical than that. They know the ECB and the Bundesbank will backstop them.

    The problem with running severely negative rates over a protracted period of time is that it weakens the balance sheets for all the banks. You’re taking away or minimizing one of the principal profit centers for the banks.

    The least fair of all tax schemes is a flat tax.

    A flat tax with exemptions per person in the family unit is the fairest tax of them all. e.g. a 50k income with 10k exemption per person would pay zero tax/zero tax rate. A person with 10 million in income and a 20% flat rate would pay slightly less than 2 million in taxes or a tax rate of 20%,
    Every flat tax with exemptions per person is a progressive tax as shown by my example.

    In the future Do the numbers before positing. It never ceases to amaze the mathematical illiteracy that exists among the general population and even among college educated people.
