geo
welkin ! it is very simple to understand!
also very important to explain the liqudities ..instabilities..,imbalances..
countries' mentalities..reflexs..some abilities...
OUTPUTS are :that country's money exportings !
INPUTS are : that country's money importings !
there ,most importantly factor is the Volumization not their
deficits and surpluss..in short term !
as you see on these numbers ,portfolio matters which have more
quantity and also speedy..hot..liquid volumes! in between
Stock Exchanges...others are not !
in short ,these four items are the Global Capital !

geo
well !
usually the finance authorities compromise tax exemptions to ensure
money inputs ! but this is not the fundamental problem here !
the System try to making self-taxations of these capitals own inside.
I mean that merely taxations of Capital doesn't solve the problems !
as seen the second problem is the Regulations !! but this subject is
very arguable ! you regulate who ? how ? according to what ?..
the main - fundamental-problem ( for all countries) is : to funding
the System ..How ?..Howmany ?.. When ? ..What for? ..to avoid
from turbulances..deviations..crisis....
finally : as Science (yet primitive) Economy is not Normative
like the Law !!
