Someone posted this on my Facebook feed:

"I don't have to worry about paying more in taxes...I don't make 400k..." ummm your boss does.... they'll make up for it somewhere... so maybe your paycheck will feel it after all...

My response:
This could happen. Quick question, in this scenario - what/who is the villain? The person making 400k + who is now taxed 2.6% more and decides he/she needs to make up for it by lowering the salaries of his/ her lower paid workers or the tax code?

Nothing yet.

Facebook 4 years ago: "Awwww. What's the matter snowflake? Need a safe space?"

Facebook today: "Here's my Parler username"
Looks like MeWe is becoming an echo chamber also for the Trumpflakes just like Parler.

I’m sort of disappointed I’m on a current 30 day Facebook ban. I’d like to have some fun with my “friends” about their cult leader lol

I'm not really trying to demonize anyone, I know a lot of people in the US would blame the government and tax code. Many people work very hard to encourage people to feel that way.
Its just to me, if you make over 400,000 you're probably rich and can probably take the 2.6% hit without passing it down the line. Not that anyone wants to pay more taxes or bring less home - but I think they'll be OK.

When the time comes, will 45 be as eloquent as 43?


I've ALWAYS thought that George W Bush looked like an older, more distinguished-looking (LOL!) version of the honorable Alfred E. Neuman.
