I agree. Kind of ironic too considering Capitalism began in the Netherlands, they built the very first stock market. If I understand correctly the proposal says the exit tax will impact those leaving the

For sure. It'll make it nearly impossible to attain financial freedom for those who aren't already rich.

Thank you! I hope your day was wonderful! The Netherlands did pay more taxes, on average, than the US before this latest "Box 3" proposal but they received a lot more in return that we do (a

I wouldn’t be too concerned just yet. There’s a whole lot of doom and gloom out there right now.

The possibility of this ending badly definitely isn't 0%. It's going to be a wild decade.

When we were having our kitchen redone I bought an electric hotplate with coils. Maybe I'll have to dig that out and start using my cast iron again. Really? I'll be heading over to Reddit today then to
