Yeah, like, if you do this, it's a write-off. Honestly, I would give them even further tax breaks. I'd be like, hey, for every dollar you spend, you can write off two. Yeah. That way, they're practically making money by funding these things.

And then they get to take advantage of the glory, you know? They get to say, hey, I made that happen. But the way we do it right now is the government puts together a limited amount of taxpayer funding for various grants, and then everybody has to fight over it. It's like...

Why do you do this to me? Jesus.

Yeah, and I guess if it's always unrealized gains... then technically you can't be taxed on it. Exactly. Which is why they want to tax unrealized gains, even though that would absolutely crush the middle class.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

Just so we're clear on that, I don't know which camera I'm looking at right now. I keep my money that I'm trying to put towards a house in a Vanguard account. I don't touch it. if you started taxing unrealized gains, I would have to take money out of my salary to pay taxes on the money I have saved to buy a house.

They don't care. They will tax you right alongside the billionaire. That's the problem. That's why I'm saying, like, you know, make... So first of all, that's probably a smart thing or just make it illegal to do that to a certain point. I don't know what I don't know how you would handle that. That's not my job.

But my point is, instead of making it, you know, profitable to cheat, make it profitable to contribute. Yeah.
