Stupid me, I can’t tell if you are the author of the analysis. Thank you for posting it, as it helps explain what we are going to be in for as investment dries up.
I would actually like to return to the original Buffet q&a, however. I think it is LONG past the time that we can ignore how much we feed the beast of Government from our earnings. It is self-destuctive to take in income beyond our needs in an environment where it is taxed, and the taxes are used as they are - so pointedly to the detriment of those paying.
So, yes. Pass up the investment. Pay off equity. Lower your profile. Higher taxes need to result in lower revenue to the Government, or there will be no end to what they will take.
I am not the author. I am not that smart.
