This is treating politics like team sports too. A stupid and toxic group shouldnt change your opinion of the issues. The issues are what matter, and they matter a lot because they inevitably affect millions of people.That's why it's so annoying. These groups care more about cosplaying as faux revolutionaries that they are risking their future ability to enact actual policy changes. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate |

I agree and that's why it angers me so much. Racists are going to hate BLM no matter what but sooo much goodwill that was earned is going down the drain because you just won't denounce the killing of civilians. So fucking stupid. Even DSA. At least someone like AOC is actually making a good distinction of condemning Hamas and the violence while making it clear she supports Palestinians. So simple, yet so many can not do it.

emblem-man 10/09/23 8:36:41 AM #59 | I pretty much agree with the author here.
One of the issues in Congress is that the members don't do the actual hard work of legislating, which includes all the boring stuff of making deals with people, understanding processes, writing law, etc. Bringing new faces into office means nothing if the boring detailed little stuff can't be done will. It's a career job that takes expertise both from the Congress members as well ass their staffers. If you said you wanted a limit of like 20-30 years, then sure, I guess. It needs to be a significant amount of time though. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate |

Unless you're bringing the pension back as well keep in mind you just destroyed the 401k as a retirement option, so now nobody gets to retire. Not really, as 401k contributions are already pre-tax. Gains in a 401k plan is already tax free as well. And withdrawals from 401k at retirement is already taxed as income I believe. It only impacts those who trade stocks and hold for over 1 year, since short term stock capital gains is already equal to regular income taxes. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate |

Its rough, but I think Im a little bit better off than average. I stay out of debt, but I really dont bankroll much with the cost of living. My current issue is having trouble figuring out a way to move into a higher income bracket, but I understand the IRS would just put me in a higher tax bracket. I also have to live with roommates and really cant save up quickly enough to buy a home any time soon because rent is high. Please do not ever consider limiting your income because of an incorrect notion of how tax brackets work. Going to a higher tax bracket just means every dollar above that bracket is now taxed at that percentage. If the tax above 10k is 30% and it's 25% below 10k, it just means that if you make 10,005, that $5 is now taxed at 30% instead of 25%. All the money below 10k is still taxed at 25%. You will never lose money from making a higher income* *Caveat being stupid income cliff stuff that happens for those who use various welfare benefits --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate |
