I'll ask again: Where's my monthly tax credit for not having kids and not being a drain on the system? I'm not really a fan of this child tax credit. I don't mind public assistance to those who truly need it in difficult times, but at the very least, this should be temporary. Stop telling me about how it "lifts kids out of poverty." What a disingenuous statement. It's just a band-aid on a much bigger problem. It's an instant tax reduction. We give tax reductions for all kinds of things, owning a home, buying a hybrid car, giving to charity, etc.

The reason was because he was our best hope for getting rid of the orange menace. No matter how unpopular he gets, he just needs to be popular enough to beat Trump again in 2024. It's quite literally all that matters.
October 27, 20213 yr Just now, ToastJenkins said: yeah one cancer is better than the other... Let me know when Biden talks about running for a 3rd, 4th, or 5th term and supports state legislatures overturning elections or "finding enough votes" to win. One party thinks we should be a democracy, the other one, not so much.

October 27, 20213 yr It's pretty simple. If you choose to have kids, then you should bear the costs. Stop asking the rest of us to support your offspring. And before someone says "but what about the future" let me respond with 2 things. First, I don't care since I don't have kids. Second, I've seen this generation of kids, and...I'm bearish on the future. We shouldn't be encouraging the least successful and capable to reproduce the fastest. The opening of Idiocracy continues to become more and more a reality.

October 27, 20213 yr A little late on the subject, but if they start taxing unrealized gains, I'm out on the tax aspect of this profession. It's bad enough it changes every 4 years now, but that would be the icing on the cake. What a nightmare it would turn into. Can you imagine what that would do to elderly who have had investments (non-retirement) for ages that use it as supplemental retirement income? Them selling off to foot their unrealized gain tax bills should be enough to crash the market (especially with the boomers retiring). Maybe the government will let you carry it forward and write-off a max of $3,000 unrealized losses a year after they tank the market like they do with capital gains now.
October 27, 20213 yr 2 hours ago, EaglesRocker97 said: Yeah, man. The two are related. I've seen/heard some sh** I do what I can to help those who can be helped, but for the most part I think humanity is a lost cause. A world without humans? I don't know, seems pretty idyllic to me.

I hear if you give @mikemack8 a ride on your sweet lawnmower he will follow you around the board liking all your posts. I have not yet confirmed this rumor.
