Did I say mandatory? I meant optional! You're "free" to die in a cardboard box under a freeway as a market capitalist scarecrow warning to the other ants so they keep showing up to make us more!

Ok but then you'll pay taxes on that sale so there's no problem.

That's only for you humans. We corporations only pay if we net a profit. Also, if we loose money, we can carry it over to next year as a tax exemption. Good luck, ugly bags of mostly water.

Eh so... If you lose money you also can carry the tax rebate over to the next year in the US...

Yes. But, not humans. Only corporations.

The asymmetric trading rules in the US are far worse than this. And, rules enforcement for corporations is a joke.

Yes, humans as well.

Same as companies, just a different maximum amount per year and what's left can be applied to the next year and the next and the next...
