Again, this is what we call investment risk. Investments that don't up beyond inflation are a bad investment. Which is the risk you take in order to see a potential profit.

That's not our collective problem.

Giving people a discount to subsidise their profits is not a worthwhile way to spend our tax dollars.

People still invested before this discount was granted, so I'm not really convinced it would break anything by getting rid of it
