This is where the “tax the rich” crowd lose me.
Say I earn 90k a year and in 2027 I inherit $200,000
I invest that $200k and after 10 years in the stock market it’s now worth $400k
If I sell it and realise the $200k capital gain, what the govt and the “tax the rich” crowd are saying is that I should be taxed as if I make $290k every year.
Now if I try and split that CGT income across 2 people I’m “greedy” and avoiding tax
But if I sell down in 4x $100k lots over 4 years and minimise my tax, that’s ok and nobody bats an eyelid - but it’s the same principle.
This strawman crumbles easily because most people would say pep is the greatest manager of all time, and man city will indeed have no history without him
Rival fans: “Man City would have no history without Pep.”
Man City fans: “So Pep Guardiola is the greatest manager of all time then?”
Rival fans: “No, he just found Man City already established and successful.”
Man City fans: “So we were already a big club before Pep?”
Rival fans: “No, you were a small club before Pep.”
Man City fans: “So Pep built a small club into a dominant one?”
Rival fans: “No, it was just money.”
Man City fans: “Then why didn’t the other rich clubs dominate football the same way?”
Every anti-City argument eventually starts fighting itself.
2021 - “You’re getting 8th again”
2022 - “You’ll never get top 4”
2023 - “You won’t challenge again, freak season”
2024 - “You will never win it”
2026 - “Can you win it again?”
