You make $1,000,000 on a flying stock you pay $150,000 in taxes.
You lose $1,000,000 on a crappy stock the max you can deduct is $3,000 per year. Yeah, that's fair.
Washington makes the rules and Washington sees that they are the winner every time... unless you're a bank who made stupid decisions. Then we'll just give you taxpayer dollars. It pisses me off.
