Most of the people in here going on about "unearned" income don't even know the difference between a bond and a share. I mean, most of these people think we should provide less incentive to invest, and that will somehow boost the level of investment in the nation. At worst, they explicitly believe that adding a value-added tax onto consumption will increase demand for consumption, to give an absurd example. To hell with the law of demand, right? We can just legislate it away! At best, they implicitly believe the government can spend their own money better than they can themselves (and/or the government can spend YOUR money better than YOU can). It's "poli-sci logic" at its finest.
