Declining pay hurts.
Inflation is real, and actively underway. It hurts purchasing power and one's livelihood.
Talking points with current politicians can become real policies.
A real threat, is something such taxing unrealized gains, which could gut the entire retirement system.
Currently we have limited number of boomers and other generations financially prepared to embark into retirement with quality or even a glint of financial security.
Now, even considering or talking about taxing unrealized gains, would diminish retirement accounts even further. Diminish investment accounts, some people have those as an element of their retirement, too. Depending on how this policy is implemented or defined, it could even mean homes - the main investment for most people - image also getting taxed increased home valuations. The shear volume of ripples this would have in so many sectors of the economy is mind boggling. These points are all connected, and not just a random political insert. The grand theme, of decreased income directly, and other indirect means (inflation, government policy).
The previous thread was a simple query, are conservative student and residents discriminated against. That was it. Even a simple thread as that couldn't go unaccosted by vitriol of liberal posts.
My comments are a counter balance to heavy over vocalization of liberal views. If you'd like, I can use your label of "Inflammatory political content" each time I spot the similar on SDN from the majority opinions?
Or perhaps, you could educate me on the unrealized gains tax policy, and respond this way:
Yo Sushi. Definitely, face value, looks atrocious. But digging into the weed and details of what's proposed it might have merits as it would work like XYZ, and impact ABC. The ripple would be minimal. And likely not generate as much tax to make a government impact. But certainly is a good talking point in this political season to drum up more liberal support. Got to give cackling Kamala some credit there. So as of right now, thankfully, the odds of a greater US economic collapse are quite low, and we won't have to be worrying about the calculus of can we simply buy food. But can you imagine if Trump is able to cut taxes more with existing government expenditures how much that will drive up the national debt and possibly force an economic collapse with Greek level austerity measures in coming decades. Yikes!
Nah, I'll try to be civil and address the points in threads for the value of their ideas, and not attack the posters.
