I feel the love!
You’re also twisting words, I clearly did not say it cost too much to help the people, I am concerned about doing it right so that the multi-trillion investment will actually pay off.

YES! I am sorry I forgot about her...

Don’t forget to add AOC and her ilk.

Not to be a downer, but it is highly unlikely that tofu will ever be served to the members of this household due to the “tofu incident”. We went to an Asian restaurant and soup was ordered and served. No one knew that tofu pieces were in the soup. One kid took a spoonful and then the tofu was felt in the mouth, out…

This is good advice. My financial adviser has reassured me to increase contribution, especially at this particular valley. At this time, you’re buying much more with the same money so when it returns to normal, you’re much further ahead. Calculate a general amount of loss your account sustained in the drop and compare…

Exactly. Every store in my city has no bleach of any kind left.

“... but I bet your store still has plenty of bleach.”

All I did was make a list of the key points from the man’s plan. I think you’re angry at the wrong person. 

Stay mad lib.

The difference is I am a reader whose opinion isn’t worth much. The writer on the other hand should have a higher responsibility to check out the numbers before just posting them. And based on the amount of times my taxes have gone up to cover for previous deficits I would say my number is closer to realistic than any…

Shoot, wealth tax doesn’t even sound good in theory to me, based solely on the scenario in my comment under another reply about what would happen if Jeff Bezos was taxed on his wealth.

The thing is, no one has “$10B in cash” they have investments. All this talk about taking money based on a wealth tax misses that point entirely. People rail about Bezos being worth billions and that the wealth tax would take billions from him, but fail to realize most of that is Amazon stock that makes up his wealth.…

It’s like Bernie’s stupid plan to tax investment transactions and saying it will raise $X billions (or trillions, I can’t remember). He is running these numbers as if the number of transactions will not change. If he thinks adding on a tax to every transaction won’t dramatically change the number of transactions he is…

Wealth taxes, while they might sound good in theory, are very poor in practice. Then again, if it sounds good in theory but not in practice was it ever really good in theory? We have actual evidence of this not working too so it’s not a theoretical exercise.

Make college free?  The people who want to go to college should pay for it themselves, rather than have money stolen from others.

NO to a wealth tax, just no. Raise the top tier income tax rate (or create a new one), but no wealth tax.
I also oppose any tax rate above 49%, ever, and even that is too high.
All these candidates supporting a wealth tax are killing any chance they have. 

THANK YOU! I cannot roll my eyes harder at the Lifehacker’s and Slate’s of the world that are rushing out to say “a latte a day won’t make you poor!” It’s intentionally misunderstanding the point that is being made in order to criticize it nonsensically. The entire point is that if you spend a few dollars here and a…

I feel this video is very misleading. Might I suggested showing how the ROI is just as important as saving that $5/day for 40 years.

I feel like this is willfully missing the point. I don’t think I’ve ever read an article where the coffee example wasn’t meant to be exactly that, an example. It’s “hey, look at the sort of silly expenditures we forget about every day, you have this constant passive stream flowing out of your bank account,” not “You…

One friendly reminder that “having a different opinion than you” does not make someone an asshole. Too often now we frame arguments that way and it goes nowhere.
