There are lots of debates going on about taxing the crap out of everyone and everything.<p>I'm wondering what if the tax on short term investments were very high, like 60%. and it dropped by 2.5% every quarter down to 10% after 5 years.<p>Would hedge funds just move to foreign countries?<p>Would smart & greedy Wall St. types be more motivated to build companies that create value & jobs?<p>Would executives be motivated to create longer term value?<p>What do you think?
