Please let’s not ruin a good thread over (more) politics.
Market outlooks change. Government policy clearly affects them both in the past and the future.
I’d like to see how the real estate vs, high frequency trading/options portfolios fare when compared against each other over a fixed, and same, period of time.
The first few posts stayed collegial please don’t ruin that atmosphere with worldview opinions.

I started investing in real estate 15 years ago to balance out my market holdings that were concentrated in retirement accounts. I started investing in traditional market assets in 1992. Over that timeframe I've put more of my W2 into stocks, options, 401k, IRA etc. than I have into real estate. Employer match and Delta DC is not included in that amount, so it's even a more lopsided toward market assets. Real estate is 10x the market assets as of today. Real estate also provides spendable income before turning 59 1/2.

Damn you people spend more mental capital worried about taxes than thinking up ways to generate more income/wealth for your family. Warren Buffett made money in his sleep no matter what political party was in power. When Democrats tried to get Michael Jordan to speak publicly about his political views he declined and eloquently said "Republicans buy sneakers too"

America became the largest economy in the world without an income tax. Surely you don’t enjoy working 3-4 months every year just to pay your tax bill. I don’t, especially when our government is totally incompetent. Our schools are terrible, we don’t have border protection, we have cities like Minneapolis stealing millions and millions from the federal government with outright corruption and we spend endlessly on unjust wars. At this point I think it would be better if we tried to at least shrink our taxes and thus our government.

Do you know any large well functioning societies that operate well WITH taxes? America became largely what it is with effectively a 0% tax rate. I answered your question, answer mine. Do you enjoy working 3-4 months every year to pay your local/county/state/federal tax bill?
