    I don't understand what you are trying to say, "The cost of money now is cheaper than money later - always." As to Roth, IRA and 401k's there has been some recent analysis that says the programs are inefficient. The analysis showed that wage earners had a low adoption rate. Most of the people...

    I'm completely parroting, my accountant and he feels taxes are always being cut. I believe the last 3 administrations, O,T, and B have cut taxes as he predicted. The other truism he believes, paying with cheaper dollars. Just like a 1031 exchange, kicking the tax can down the road also...

    My accountant is not a fan of me converting to Roth. He hates taxes. He says to me, I would definitely be paying taxes when converting, not avoiding them and the future might hold a way to avoid them altogether. For example I could donate to charities near and dear to my heart. Anyway...

    Actually, I understand basic economics. From reading your answers, I'm not sure you do, but I liked the stagflation answer. I don't think stagflation is happening but it is hard to stop runaway inflation and not cause harm, which is what my reading claims is happening. Good politics...

    I was asked a question and I answered it. I sold 2 businesses as I was making a living but not bank as the saying goes. Only one reached scale but it died in spectacular fashion.

    I wish MAGA people had any sense, sense of economics, sense of history, sense of politics etc. I wrote 7 paragraphs to address your points. Then I thought how completely ignorant you must be to think inflation is a sign of a weak economy. I deleted the 7 paragraphs after thinking about your...

    I agree my reading comprehension sucks, in part due to poor eyesight. I keep hearing, I'm so boring and didn't expect that you would want sources. I checked the CBO and only found projections. The original projection for the cost of the tax cut was $1.9 trillion for 10 years. Then in 2019...

    What are you going on about? AOC? Are you referencing the left wingnut? What does she have to do with anything? Trump was a bully in GA and they don't like it. Are you of a mind that it is okay to bully people doing their job? It is okay if you do, but I'm not following your stroll around...

    May, I suggest you put up your facts. I would say put you facts where you mouth is but it seems to spend most of its time spouting gibberish, 99% of the time. Hahaha heHEhe

    I chose to respond to you but there are other equally idiotic responses. The point is and always has been, the tax cut was only for the rich, because there is no tax to give back to lower wage earners. I think all of the responses echo that point, "proportionality" being your defense of the...

    Why would you think that focusing on the amount is stupid. That has been the criticism of the tax cut since the beginning, no money for little guy. The corporate tax cut was supposed to spur increased pay for workers. It hasn't. I could go on to the wonderful benefits it was supposed to...

    I read both of your articles and the source material of the The Hill. If I understand, The Tax policy center article it outlines the simplification of the tax system. I agree it did simplify it. As to the apparent difference in our understanding of the tax cut, The Hill focuses on...

    Not a liberal. Sorry about misattributing the parrot to you. I haven't seen the parrot for awhile and you like to post acrimonious visuals; anyway I went all the way back to #4504 to find that Flyer5 is the person to ask about AI. Post #5090 was your partial quote of my post #5088. I'm not a...

    I know it sends the wrong message. I'm a fun guy, really, I just never figured out easy banter. I blame it on 16 moves before I graduated high school.

    I found one, "slap in the face" comment and it dealt with real estate industry as they felt he had broken their faith as they felt they were instrumental in getting him elected. Perhaps, making wealthy "pay their fair share" is a Dem attitude, I would have worded it, Dem's want their fair share...

    We've got a philosophical disagreement. Government has duties to perform and they need money. Taxes are how they accumulate the money. Currently the US spends more than it takes in. Neither the left nor the right is willing to cut the spending, so we devalue the money by not taking care of...

    Tim, I've never knowingly used a chatbot or its output. I'm old and apparently that makes me seem like a chatbot. OllieC is the only person that I've noticed using AI. The parrot he used to post quite often was an obvious AI image. Again no answers.

    No answer, not a surprise. I can't find much info that supports the Trump tax cuts helped wage earners. There is a ways and means site that said wages increased faster with the tax cuts than during Obama's 2nd term and it was something like, 3% increase instead of a 2% increase. There are a...
