More accurately, they invest it (which is what saving is, be it stocks, bonds or bank accounts.) It is money that is injected back into the economy, presumably to become productive and ultimately creates jobs.
Taxing the rich and giving to the poor takes money from people that know how to create an economic return, and gives it to those who don't. Then we're all aghast when the economy shows no sign of economic returns (as expressed by real GDP growth.)
If your statement was the middle and low-income earners are the ones going out and spending their refund checks to build businesses, I might agree with you. But I'm not even sure that I agree those are the people buying TVs today. More likely, they're using that check to pay off the one they bought 2 years ago (at 30% APR.)
I'll definitely vote and put a sign or two in my yard for my preferred candidates. Even if I have to pay for my signs at my local party headquarters, it's a donation and an investment I'm willing to make toward the return I expect from my candidates' laws and policies.
For over 5 decades from the 1930's to the 1980's the top marginal tax rates were 50-91% range. America somehow managed to struggle through it without all the doctors walking off the job and rich people being mean to their employees. I think we can probably find a way as a nation to manage through a 2-3% increase in the top marginal rate to get us back to what people were paying a mere 10 years ago.
I plan to vote. Voting in our state is done by mail now, which is nice. The politicians have been smearing each other for months. It's funny when a politician appears at the end of one smear ad saying "My name is X and I approved this message," and then that is immediately followed by a smear ad from the other side vilifying that same person.
I am definitely planning on voting. I'll also be bringing my small children with me so they can start learning from early age the power of voting. With as close as many elections have been in recent years, I believe every vote counts. Plenty of people around the world don't have the opportunity to vote and I don't take this privilege lightly!
I'm sorry, but there's no explanation of how these things may come to pass in the article...well except for the moving overseas explanation, which I find very far fetched.
Finally an article on WiseBread that makes sense! Everything in this post is 100% accurate. Of course Obama has already raised taxes by passing Obama care. Now Boeing and other companies are forced to make their employees foot a larger portion of the bill.
Just like prosperity trickles down to the little guy, so do taxes. Tax the big guys, and they will either leave or find a way to pass it on to the little guy.
Thank you for posting something political on here that actually makes sense!
LOL. This post made my entire day. Are you that delusional?
They were given a "break" by the Bush administration. Now that "break" is expiring. It is not a "tax increase". It is simply a return to what they had been paying.
You assume that every additional dollar in tax breaks will be generously showered down on those below them. Silly rabbit.
Clinton raised the taxes of the wealth in 93, and we suffered through
eight years of prosperity.
Budget surpluses, low unemployment.
Bush saved us in 01.
we should stay saved
the only machine i use is the Bialetti single shot expresso maker (percolator). it's the best little thing ever, and it will go with me to the grave lol ... the coffee i use is LavAzza espresso grounds.
No offense, but you need to do more research on this topic before offering advice. Some information is incorrect, and other parts are correct, but incomplete.
1. There are many types of scores at each bureau, but when people refer to "your score" or "the score", they are referring to your FICO score. You said this algorithm is different at each bureau. That is incorrect. The algorithm for the FICO score is the same. The reason the score can be different at different bureaus is because each one may have different information about you. Lenders don't necessarily report your activities to all of the bureaus. Sometimes they only report to one or two.
3. This is true, but again, it's not just about "the score". Lenders use A LOT of factors in determining whether they will offer you that loan or decide your credit limit. They may look at your payment history to see how many times you were late on certain payments (even types of payments). They may look at your debt to income ratio. They may look at how many loans/credit lines you already have. You'd be surprised just how much information they have about your spending habits and your debts and the payment on those debts.
In short, it's not all about "THE" score. Be smart. Make your payments on time and don't carry high balances. It's all about being a "good customer". The less of a risk it is to offer you that loan, the lower your interest rate will be.
There are other mistakes, but I'm tired of typing :)

Yes, it will be clear, if its cloudy, you let some oils get into the end product. You can skip the sprouting, but you will need malted barley or let it set for a long time, about 2 weeks longer. I would go for the barley for added flavour.
It will taste like paint thinner if you let it get dirty from the still or leave it to strong. When you over boil, it will splash wash up the tube and land in the collection jar. If it is too strong, its shy of poison. Distill it out clear and cut with water. If you are going to the hills, say in Kentucky, you will have perfect water for this. I would suggest leaving full strength, in jars or jugs, until you go camping again. then you can mix it 50/50 in their cups. It is easier to carry 1 gallon then 2. The creek water will add some minerals and flavours unique to the area. That is why major distillers are there. To be more authentic, I think Apple Jack would be more to the era. You could make it hard cider by distilling it. Use a thumper and put the Apple Jack in there too, to carry the flavour over with.
I want to vote, but next month I'll be transferred to another country. So I think I'll pass it.

That was such a terrible time - the surplus, the jobs... all of it. May we never return to such conditions. :)

I will not be voting, because the probability that my vote will change the outcome of any election, even small local ones, is virtually nil.

Most definitely. I finally registered in our new district (we moved four years ago...).

I will probably vote!
I don't see the update on the facebook page yet- will it be up soon? Thanks!
Yes. Voting is the duty of all educated citizens.
I'm sorry, but there's no explanation of how these things may come to pass in the article...well except for the moving overseas explanation, which I find very far fetched.
Sources, please?
i vote in every election. If I don't, the two party system may never end. I don't try to influence other people, just do my part.
I definitely plan to vote this year.
I'll be voting. I hope to win the contest too!

I filled out my absentee ballot this morning! I miss the sticker though :(

"guarantee yourself a prize"
I do not think that means what you think it means.
You are no more guaranteed to win a prize by eating 256 big macs than you are guaranteed not to win a prize by eating just 1.

This is a joke, right?
My ad-blocker must have stripped all the 'smiley faces' after each bullet point....
I highly anticipate the follow-up article: "6 Indirect Ways Increasing Taxes to the Poor and Middle Class Will Help You Sustain Your Lifestyle"
