And there is a whole array of creative taxes on the drawing board to pay for this folly. In retirement communities such as The Villages, the most frightening tax, much scarier than the specter of a warmer planet 50,000 years from now is the "wealth tax". This is where they come along and confiscate a percentage of your accumulated assets (which you have already paid tax on) each and every year. Depending on the percentage, how long do you think you'll last with this tax as well as the inflation that this ridiculous expenditure would cause????
Idiotic? Asinine? Crazy? Insane? Ridiculous? Illogical? I can keep going all day……. Most insidious idea on how to strip you over time of your entire investments and your children’s’ inheritance
