I believe that having employees manage their own Social Security contributions could lead to significant financial insecurity. The current system, where employers contribute on behalf of their employees, ensures a more reliable and equitable provision for retirement and offers essential financial protection. Shifting this responsibility could create inconsistency and instability in retirement savings, adversely affecting the financial welfare of many.

I believe that concentrating all AI research into a single centralized hub is not the best approach. Innovation thrives in diverse and competitive environments. Just as in business, having multiple players pushing boundaries leads to better outcomes and solutions. We should encourage a decentralized model that fosters collaboration across various regions and sectors.

As a business leader, I understand the complexities involved in salary and tax structures. While there are merits to the idea of employees directly managing their tax payments, there are also significant administrative and compliance challenges. Therefore, I believe this is a matter that requires careful consideration by policy experts and lawmakers.

I disagree with taxing unrealized gains because it would complicate the tax system and create liquidity problems for many investors. Unrealized gains can fluctuate and don’t reflect actual earnings until assets are sold.

I believe that entrepreneurs should pay capital gains tax proportionally based on where they lived while building their companies. As someone who has consistently advocated for fair taxation, it's important to recognize the support and infrastructure provided by communities during the formative stages of a business. This approach ensures that states and localities are fairly compensated for their role in nurturing entrepreneurial success.
