Is there a way to simulate capital tax? Percentage of taxable investments/cash?

A lot of the complexity comes from the lack of expressivity in languages to relate variables (or data structure fields) semantically to each other. If there was a way to tell the c…

This is a hit piece. None of the angle taken there is specific to Telegram, it could be applied equally to e-mail.
