Look, I understand math is hard but some of us can do it. If you can make more staying home then you weren't really in the path to success anyways

Stock market seems to have forgotten to plummet.

 

[utvolpj]

At what tax rate are you willing to continue to work for your success?

I'll have bugged out to the hills long before that benchmark is reached. No different than running the numbers of having the wife stay home vs work full time.

Stock market booming today.

That can’t be right. Last night in this thread people were saying it was going to crash. Surely my conservative friends on here weren’t talking out their ass.

Rich, coming from the party that still believes trickle down economics works

Straw man.
I’m a conservative Democrat.
My party is dead.

Who makes between $10-30k and actually pays taxes?

When I worked at the bank, I made about 30K and I paid taxes.....I paid a lot of taxes. For me, being in my early twenties with no kids.

That size of turnout for a runoff election points to one thing.
I waited in line for 90 minutes to vote early. (and that's after driving by multiple days to check the length of the line)

I waited in line longer than I ever have in a very heavily Republican district including Presidential elections. As I stated, some Trump voters stayed home believing it was stolen therefore pointless to vote. A few hundred here and there made the difference. You are correct, hatred of Trump runs deep in a lot of people

It's just musical chairs at this point. Take the easy one when you can get it but eventually there's no seat left. I no longer believe the stock market is driven by anything but rich people's feelings and computers. Mostly the latter at this point

Now we agree, I just hope my children can say the same.

Stock market booming today.

My apple and amazon stocks are losing money today, but everything else is doing well. I threw some money at CVS and Delta stock, it is doing pretty good.

Definition of SOCIALISM

Definition of COMMUNISM

There's a very little difference, in fact Marx stated it's a transitional stage form capitalism to communism. Not surprisingly, you misunderstand.

Anyone who supports socialism is asking for what they are going to receive. You want to have everything controlled by the state? You want to have no private property? Y'all are insane.

Unlikely after filling but at most you paid about $3k. Should have planned for retirement instead

Exactly.....
Web Van was about 20 years before their time.

hyperbole abounds on both sides.

Young adults are absolutely eviscerated by taxes proportional to their income.

Did you vote for any of these people?

And you are without a sense of humor.

I had smile when posting. I suppose I should have inserted an emoticon

In order to keep your same tax rate how about a VAT on every stock transaction to pay for the virus and other red ink incurred this century?

Having made the bulk of my earnings during the boom of the 90's when we actually started paying down the debt am I the only one who found it odd that in the "greatest economy in history" we were running a trillion dollar annual debt?

What side is that says "government spending stimulates the economy"?

Democrats had a target rich environment - poor blacks who they know will vote in a monolith as long as the checks keep flowing - meet up with an incredible circumstance that created mail in voting out of nowhere in a matter of months.

Wait, wait, wait.

First, it was Trump and the GOP that sent out the first wave of checks. Heck, they had Trump's name on them.

Second, it was Trump that wanted to increase Round II from $600 to $2,000.

Third, it has been Wall Street and big business, aligned with the GOP, asking for more stimulus.

The major flaw in your argument is that you stop your reasoning at the point the poor black person you allude to gets the check. There are plenty of GOP interests that end up benefiting as much, if not more, from that process.

So let's not be so simple as to rely on the whiny old claim that Dems send out checks to poor people to buy their votes. Its just not accurate that such is coming exclusively from Dems, and its not at all accurate to say that comes at the expense of those with whom the GOP shares its interests.

You do realize that way more Wall Street money and big (tech) business money contributions went to Biden, right?

iPhones and Nikes are gonna stay cheap because the China sweatshops are out of danger. Tim Cook will view all those contributions as money very well spent.

I am sure Huff is happy as well.

It’s always funny when an election takes place and suddenly the people touting the stock market as a major indicator of economic health completely flip their narrative.
