@PostOpinions@biggsag@AEI Wow this is a terrible take…very much an “eat the rich” mindset. Higher earners already pay more into SS and basically get back what they put in while lower earners get back multiples of what they paid into the system.
@Snow_Miser_@biggsag@PostOpinions Yeah, the older I get the more I realize that we may have been better off privatizing SS. When people own something outright and can see its value, they are more likely to make better decisions about retirement.
@allenanalysis This is so disingenuous. There is a reason most of Europe pulled back their wealth tax. It’s expensive to implement and the yield is less than people think. It will not pay for new social programs because the government has a spending problem not a revenue problem.
@ATLUncensored Guy’s a convicted felon with a weapon and arrested over 30 times who just killed someone in broad daylight. Not one bit surprised by the comments on this thread after watching the video. No talk of the culture and where’s his daddy for this one right?? Lots of victim blaming.
@AttorneyCrump That should definitely be a lawsuit for unlawful arrest. The department should be required to pay for a full and public digital restitution of character. Expunge everything.
Going to an in-state public university (avg total COA ~$31k/yr) instead of a $100k+ private school saves ~$69k per year, or $276k over 4 years.
Invest those annual savings at the long-term S&P 500 average of ~10%: ~$350k by graduation, growing to about $16 million by retirement age 62.
At a conservative 7% return: around $5 million.
Huge opportunity cost for most students.
@RoKhanna@FrancescaHongWI She is a self-avowed DSA member. Americans don’t want Socialists running their country…..why is that so hard for Dems to understand. Kick these people out of the party and get back to the core democratic values of the party.
@WallStreetApes They don’t need the police because they will deploy the military. They will not need as many prisons because people will just be shot and buried in mass graves or placed in military reeducation camps. It’s communism folks…read a book on how they run their countries.
@lauren_w67 Doesn’t firing a person open them up to having to pay unemployment? They will likely let a person go and pay them for the 2 weeks if they work in sensitive areas.
