It has nothing to do with the wealthy and their tax rate. Times now are hard. Prices keep going up and wages just aren’t close to keeping up.
I too hope things are easier for future generations but its not looking too good.
Yes it does. If you paid less you would have more money and you could take care of your family
better. Part of that is not having tax brackets that pay nothing. Everyone needs some skin in the game.

Why? Because my elitist lemming rule maker said so, that's why.
And we're absolutely NOT allowed to deviate either, PERIOD.
And it's NOT AN ARGUMENT, it's called preservation of life.
The TRULY sad part is that you zealots don't give up YOUR ritualized baby k*****g mantra:

They want to screw with peoples lives and a lot of what they are talking about appears to not be exactly as they
say it is. I think Preacherism is responsible for a lot of it.

They can't imagine life without telling someone how to run their business. Sad stuff but true or they
would give this whole argument up. There's never been anyone forced to get a a******n just because
its legal to have one but they don't understand it's not on them.

No they can't. I would guess we don't need tax cuts for the wealthy if that be the case when we can't
afford to do as little as set our kids up for life.
I wasn't able to either but I made up for it later on. I hope future generations of my family have it
a little easier than I did.

Where is your list of definitions for being woke? Can't do it can you?
I see their harmful actions of wokeness as their degenerate reality. And choose to keep the likes of you and your wokeness crew away from our children.
You're a little thick headed it would appear. I gave you my definition of woke and you can't even see it.

Woke is not awakened or cognitive of reality. Too late for them to be debriefed and you too...
That is only because you choose to associate wokeness with something woke people are not.
You have a lot of deprogramming to do to be woke.

That is about the dumbest interpretation of woke that there could possibly be.

Raising taxes should be Democrats response and answer to the budget deficit and debt ceiling, lower the deficit and the debt ceiling isn't hit nearly as often. Generate enough taxes from the wealthy, go after tax c***ts, go after medicare fraud that we know is taking place and the deficit could be balanced...republicans never quit about entitlements, dems should never quit about tax reforms.

Republicans are always do as I say not as I do when it comes to money.
The debt ceiling is no problem when they are in power. This is only a tool when they aren't but they had
best be careful sinking peoples 401k's and destroying the market because that is what they are playing with
and trying to use as a reason to do what they want.

The glories of compound interest.
I'm surprised that more people don't do this for their kids, but they don't.
Love compound interest over time.
By applying a little forethought it's easy to take care of the next generations of your family. I wonder why more people don't do it?

Millionaire by 65: This Deposit at Birth Ensures Your Child Retires With Seven Figures

Retirement may not come easy for future generations. With talk of Social Security being depleted by 2035 and more people retiring later in life than they did 30 years ago (76% of Americans aged 65-69 are still working, per Yahoo), a robust, healthy retirement may be out of reach for kids today.

Yet, there is one way you can ensure your children retire millionaires — if you have some extra cash around when they are born. By depositing $7,000 the day they are born, they will have $1 million by the time they are 65.

This tip comes courtesy of Chloé Daniels of Quick Money Tips (also host of “The Money Bare” podcast). She explained the math in a Jan. 15 Instagram post, showcasing how compound interest helps grow the initial $7,000 investment into seven figures.
Assuming there is an 8% average return after investing in an S&P 500 index fund, the money will be allowed to grow to this level over time. The chart below shows how it works:

If you don’t have $7,000 available, another option Daniels provided is to invest $3,000 initially, deposit $200 a month for 20 years and then let your child take over their own contributions from the ages of 20-45. By 45, they’ll have $1 million (and it’ll teach your kids the importance of investing from a young age).

Or, if all you are able to to invest is $100 a month from the day they are born until they are 55 years old, they could still retire as millionaires with a total $66,000 contribution from you, according to Daniels.
