“But for individual investors, who are a big part of the U.S. equity story, a 39 percent tax rate is going to be quite an impediment to buying stocks... We’re going to see liquidity be lower, multiples be lower, the cost of capital be higher, less job formation,” if investor gains simply counted as income, Griffin predicted. “A multiyear headwind? Absolutely. When taxes are at 39 percent, you’re not going to sell your winners. You’re going to stay in those positions longer than you otherwise would have. That means there’s less capital flowing from those companies to the next new idea. That’s heartbreaking. Part of the reason that the U.S. economy works so damn well is that we move our capital as a nation to the next new idea continuously... It’s the mobility of the capital in our system that makes that happen.”

Citadel的创始人明确表示，他并不是一个强硬派，确实支持某些加税来抵消联邦政府目前的激进的赤字水平。
“我会的资产收益率较低，和企业在企业层面纳税，”格里芬说都铎·琼斯在私人活动。投资者仍然会间接支付的金额，与财政负担肩负起企业的部分所有者，他指出。
但进一步的经济刺激政策都铎琼斯的建议，也许新一轮的失业充值，取得格里芬投手犯规。他会愉快地付出得到美国人重返工作岗位 - 但不是对他们保持了出来。
“什么是真正可悲的是有些荒谬的理论，我们已经证伪的崛起。我们已经看到了社会主义沉船东欧，”格里芬说。“我们不能让美国工人的技能消失。我们想拉进民退员工一样快，我们所能来保护他们的未来收入流。你和我都将在心跳赞成刺激的话，我相信。”
