Dr. Strangelove Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 5 hours ago, Archy1221 said: You could also tax everyone making over $1 million at 100% and not come close to funding the government which is why the let’s just tax the rich argument he and others makes doesn’t work. I agree with taxing the rich to fund programs that themselves further create more revenue. The SNAP program gains more money in economic creation than is spent on it for example. Funding it as robustly as possible via taxes on the wealthy is a win for everybody. As far as spending, I would personally prefer various changes to taxes that fund them. Changes to the programs themselves are necessary: increasing eligibility ages, reducing payouts to certain income ranges, decreasing veterans benefits, increasing taxes to fund the programs, etc. Taxing the wealthy is a small start. But the debt is large and neither side has plans to adequately address it. 1 Link to comment

RedDenver Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Maybe move the stock bets to another thread? You'll probably get more views/comments outside the P&R forum. Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 When my son was 15 (five years ago) he'd been watching the gaming world pretty intently and believed AMD's new processors were going to be a hit with developers. He talked my wife into investing $2,000 in AMD for him, doubled it and cashed out at 18. He also talked her into 10 shares of Tesla and got out with another $2,000 profit. Of course he burned through all that money going to school in Santa Barbara the last two years and needs me to bail him out. What was my investment? Hard work with 100% ROI! 1 2 Link to comment

Glad your son made some good coin. Unfortunate he cashed out but hindsight is 2020 and the important thing is doubling the initial investment….TWICE which is awesome 1 Link to comment
