Yes, but your total tax picture is made of individual investments.

That’s pretty meaningless, man. It’s made up of a number of individual investments— so they’re not individual anymore.

Let me ask you this - are you contesting the fact that taxation will make some investments not worth making?

Nope.

Are you saying that there is no level of taxation that will cause investment to go down because the rewards are reduced by said taxation?

Yes. The key being the ‘some investments’ part. Money will continue to be invested. Where it is invested will change, because the risk/reward picture is changing.

That’s true - economics 101. That actually sort of makes my point…

Not really, no.
