How did you enjoy that supercut video of everyone saying what you claimed nobody said about the clot shots? That's cool that 30% less buying power means nothing to you and it's actually everyone else's fault for complaining about poor policy. That's going to be a real strong message for you in November.
Go back through my posting history. I have stated repeatedly that I am not opposed to reversing those tax breaks, despite the fact we've been beneficiaries. I sincerely believe that those of us who have been fortunate enough to generate wealth by living in the greatest country on earth have a moral and practical responsibility to contribute at a higher rate than those less fortunate. It is the premise behind progressive taxation and I'm a believer in that.
That's not what I asked.
I typically eat 20-40 mg of gummies a night pretty much for sleep. Prices here were killing me. Had a buddy who just came from Michigan and loaded me up. Soooo much cheaper. /csb
I am getting taxed more. It's great.
Ask yourself why everything you refer to regarding healthcare costs more.
Okay, but I’d argue it is less privatized since we have expanded Medicare/Medicaid and the gov’t run health exchanges. So there is more public money in the system than ever before.
How'd your 401k do at the end of 2023?
What's your current tax rate? Mine is 32% retired. Answer that one question and most accountants and Whiskey will know for sure how much you are fibbing. Gas, meat, groceries in general, healthcare, automobiles, all have risen substantially in the last three years. If your income is keeping up with that you are above me in tax brackets.
Wow is all I can say. Ill ask what your tax rate is like I did someone else. So you want to contribute 40% of that wealth and have no ability to pass that wealth to your kids?
I'd be interested to see what your wife actually thought about this after giving away 50% of her income a year. Me thinks this is one of those "yea we would gladly.do it" until it comes time to doing it.
Until someone takes her money past the point of her being able to say stop.
I’m sure she appreciates you telling her what she thinks and what she will do 😂
Really? Mine has doubled the loss amount from then. That's crazy.
Retirees on fixed incomes aren’t making more, yet all their costs go up too. If the border isn’t closed soon, with all the resultant increases in health care costs, education, housing etc., real inflation won’t be going down. Americans aren’t better off economically or security wise (both in this country & worldwide), then they were four years ago.
I locked in at 3.125% in 2020, luckily b4 the rates have steadily climbed since then.
Not true.
Truth Social stock and dogecoin duh. THANKS BIDEN!
Retirees who are invested even moderately are doing very well. Most Americans are making more money with the low wage earners having very good gains. Wages have been exceeding inflation for some time now. Violent crime is down as well.
I don't know how anyone would have lost money in 2023. It was a killer year. This year is also doing very well. Two steps forward and one step back, but trend is up. Wouldn't surprise me if we flirted with 20% again.
I was curious about that too, a quick look tells me my retirement investments went up just over 31% in '23. 2022 was a different story, but more than gained back in '23.
