Fed Announcement at 2pm
I'm thinking about cashing in (put $$ on the sidelines) since there's not much to win today but there's a lot to lose. I can always reinvest tomorrow if i decide to cash out. No broker fees or anything.

I expect the Fed to protect Joe Biden and the democrats at least through the 2022 mid-terms then raise rates at the end of 2022 once the GOP takes back the house and senate.

On a different note, do you all realize the top 5 wealthiest Americans only paid ~ 3.4% income tax last year? They need to eliminate some tax shelters that they are using. I decided to stick it out with 1 hand on the sell trigger.

I agree. Many analysts, such as the UBS CIO, have raised their S&P500 target through June of 2022, with obvious short term volatility in the middle.

The right thing to do would be to immediately raise interest rates. (06-16-2021, 01:36 PM)HURRICANE!!! Wrote:(06-16-2021, 01:02 PM)StroudCrowd1 Wrote: Yep, only short term capital gains.

Correction -- it was the 25 people that saw their worth rise the most from the 5 year period 2014 to 2018 as quoted below. https://www.propublica.org/article/the-s...income-tax "The results are stark. According to Forbes, those 25 people saw their worth rise a collective $401 billion from 2014 to 2018. They paid a total of $13.6 billion in federal income taxes in those five years, the IRS data shows. That’s a staggering sum, but it amounts to a true tax rate of only 3.4%."

There's no such thing, because we don't tax wealth. We tax income. Wealth taxes are unworkable. Several countries have tried them and abandoned them. Wealth taxes are also unconstitutional. So, when you say, "the top 5 wealthiest Americans only paid ~ 3.4% income tax last year..." that is incorrect. Absolutely false. Do you know that when it comes to income tax, the top 1% of all earners pay 40% of all US income tax? That is a fact. Do you also know that the bottom 50% of all earners pay 3% of all US income tax? The top 1% pay more income tax than the bottom 90% pays. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

Do you think it's fair that (using the average), he pretty much paid a 3.4% tax rate on his AGI whereas the average person making 60K per year pays 22% on his AGI? I'm not saying high income people or wealthy people don't pay a lot --- I'm just stating it's not fair in the long run. Yes, I guess I support a flat tax on income if that's what it takes to have everyone pay something like 20% on their income. I must admit that I'd like to know how much people like LeBron and Kevin Durant pay on their $40m salaries + endorsement income.

How much stuff did you buy off Amazon during the pandemic to fatten the pockets of the guy you have disdain for while sinking small businesses the party you support despises?

Wealth taxes are unworkable. Several countries have tried them and abandoned them. Wealth taxes are also unconstitutional. The highlighted part is not true. I think you're again conflating wealth with income. Those are not the same thing. In addition to that, it is not true that a person making $60,000 pays 22% in federal income tax. In this case, you are taking the marginal tax rate and confusing that with the average tax rate. A person making $60,000 pays 22% only on amounts over $40,526. Jeff Bezos paid $973,000,000 in taxes last year, on $4.22 billion in income. That makes his average tax rate 23%, but his marginal tax rate was 37%, which is the top bracket. If you support a 20% flat tax, you will pay more tax and Jeff Bezos will pay less. |
