Don's new tariffs cost us $6,000

Don’s new tariffs could cost each of us $6,000 a year
An independent analysis of Trump’s tariff proposal finds that it could cost the average U.S. household more than $6,000 per year, with much of the burden falling on households with the lowest incomes. “We find that a Trump tariff proposal against all countries would cost U.S. consumers $459 billion annually and $2.29 trillion over five years,” David Tuerck and Paul Bachman, a pair of economists at Suffolk University in Boston, write for the nonpartisan National Foundation for American Policy.
There are many ways for Trump to ‘tax’ the middle class. Tariff’s increase the price of everything working people (not wealthy) buy.


Which investment strategy provides the best retirement outcome?
“The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.” Warren Buffett Mr Buffett's strategy of patience has proven to be the most astounding in history. He has earned 20.8% a year compounded over 50 years including recessions and wars. He does NOT trade or speculate. He holds companies for a long time. Buffett has proved the market is NOT efficient and stock-picking can work for a few.
Buffett is the genius who found a way to beat the market. The average investor earned just 3.79% while the stock market earned 11.06% over the last 30 years. DALBAR QAIB. You can become wealthy by choosing the best investment strategy in the 21st century: The Hub and Spoke Strategy. Use the best of both worlds: market index and Buffett's stock. There are almost as many “investing” strategies as people who work on Wall Street. There are institutional and retail investors who put up the money and take all the risks. And there are salespeople who take profits unfairly from the investors.
You have your choice but there are three considerations first: trust yourself or others, your futures will change, wealth-building takes time.

No retirement fund? $9 is all it takes
Almost 20% of Americans 65 and older are now working, according to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s the most older people with a job since the early 1960s, before the U.S. enacted Medicare. This may explain why younger people have trouble finding work and why wages remain flat despite productivity increases. More employers are offering tax-FREE Roth 401ks yet only 10% participate in these retirement funds. As the overall economy improves, the growth of productivity is going to existing asset holders, not to those producing it. Since 1995, the average year-over-year inflation rate for energy has been 3.9%, for food, 2.6%; for shelter, 2.7%; and for medical care, 3.6%. Middle class expense increases leave no room for building assets.

GOP budget-cutters go after the poor again—GOP ‘heroes’ target defenseless
It is an easy group to target with no lobby and no defenders. GOP will cut food stamps again instead of supporting a wage hike that might reduce the need for this subsidy. GOP did not go after oil and gas socialists on subsidies, not the socialist supports that guarantee income to corporate farmers, not the socialist price guarantees to sugar and cotton and peanuts and soy and corn and etc. They did not cut the defense programs the pentagon says they don’t want or need. No, they cut food stamps. No wage offset, no retraining. Former manufacturing workers now on food stamps. Part time hiring up.
Always hit the people who don’t have lobbyists or big election gifts.

Making the world safe from BANKING
Congress and Obama have stopped fighting Wall Street during this contribution period called the 2016 elections. However, the problem of leveraged gambling without consequences still hangs over this planet. Closer than global warming as a threat, leaders of the world’s financial system have not taken the necessary steps to keep the world safe from BANKING, according to Mervyn King, former head of the Bank of England. “The financial system, King reveals, is still wired so that a handful of well-connected people capture the benefits from risk-taking while the entire society bears the cost.” Bankers and regulators use ‘complexity’ to defeat serious change. King’s solution: let investors who give the banks money to gamble take the hit when they lose. Keep deposits separate!

House GOP votes to let contractors discriminate against certain people GOP dislikes
Tax breaks for wealthy; cut funding for un-wealthy, poor, seniors, underemployed, etc.

Increase debt and devalue debt and limit defense spending.
Cut regulation of all business activity except when GOP controls women clinics
Regulate all District Columbia activity/spending—end local control of DC budget
AL GOP reversed local control of Birmingham city paychecks
MI GOP reversed local control of Flint water against local experts
LA GOP reversed local control: wants strippers to be over 21 but under 28 and 160 lb.
Climate change is a hoax.
Trade pacts are no good for us and no good for our workers.
Abolish IRS, EPA, Education, Dodd-Frank financial protections
National right to buy and carry any firearms anywhere anytime by anyone age 2 and up.
Reinstate Christmas and Christian observance in schools, home, court, etc
Reinstate Christianity as the state religionbar all others from public office
Replace Obamacare with Health Savings Accounts (tax deduction not coverage).
Resist approving judges for courts (fewest in 50 years) so Dems not make policy
Install state Gov that cuts Medicaid, education, federal support payments, infrastructure.
Trump policy now and then: Unintended consequences is real threat!


Is an immediate annuity right for you?
When your advisor proposes buying an annuity to guarantee income for you in retirement, they may not mention certain facts that you should know. First, an annuity purchase is final – few can be reversed. Second, you will be receiving regular income from your IRA, pension, etc at age 70.5 due to the IRS mandate. Third, many annuities have higher fees and charges than similar income producing alternatives. Fourth, an immediate annuity starts paying you monthly income in return for your cash but is based on current low interest rates. When they go up, you are stuck with lower income.

Do you need a will like Prince forgot?
He did not leave one in plain sight so his “relatives” will spend $ millions for lawyers and courts to get some cash or what they “deserve.” Well if you have that problem, get thee to a lawyery. Or make your own for $55 at Nolo or as little as $35. If you only have a house, car, bank accounts etc in joint name you may not need one. Your IRAs and pensions have bene clauses so they don’t go to probate. Simple asset estates don’t need lawyers—you may pay your state tax yourself. Fed death tax begins at $5.45 million. I read library books to do mine. Avoiding probate doesn’t help with some states: everything is taxed—even retirement funds—unless it all goes to spouse.


Does our President need to be smart and truthful? Do they even care about truth?

Don:    In Trump We Trust: The New American Revolution,” due Aug 23. ‘God’ is gone!
            There will be another 9/11 if we don’t stop Syrians with ISIS phones now!
            Don will cut Medicare and SS benefits “if tax cuts don’t make big surpluses”
            Carson says Christie, Cruz, Kasich, Rubio and Palin for VP. Newt?
            “I will never hire a pollster” pollster hired this week but not admitted
            Talking to Kissinger, 92, 30-year-old-China-policy expert?
            In order to get donor money, I will not take $36 mil to pay myself back.
            I would like to see a White-versus-Black season of “The Apprentice." 

AKA John Miller: It wasn’t me who faked me--Only a narcissist would do that!       Anyway, I am only doing what the Founding Fathers did! Really?

Paul Ryan: “I’ll have my people call your people,” Don can pretend to change Congress.
            My cuts in food stamps make me a hero since poor have no lobbyist to offend
            Paying workers for overtime is “absolute disaster:” we pay too much already!

Hill: We all would like to pay 10% taxes like Don: show us how you do it!
            His Ossining golf course pays tax on $1.4 mil but he claims worth $50 mil.
            His yacht had no NJ sales tax and his Grand Central Hyatt had no profits?

Bern: Why do you pay 33% in taxes and Donny pays HALF or less.
            Here we go again—invading Lybia in name of ‘training’



Regulators are the only protection we have since we can’t sue anymore
            “It is nearly impossible for one individual to take on a corporation with vast resources.” (GOP bill requires impossible: every person in class action suffer “same type and scope of injury”)
               Supremes stop us from suing—State courts no longer available to sue corporations!

.Raymond James caught not watching for money laundering by clients
. Louis Martin Blazer III, Blazer Capital, used $2.35 mil from athletes by misleading
.MO lets anyone pack w/o permit/training and kill by claiming “threatened.”
. Francis J. Bass, Phila, caught tax fraud on medical settlements fraud

We need regulation—GOP wrong—companies/cities wouldn’t fix bad products on own


New rule lets business expense any item up to $2,500 – cuts taxes
Effective for 2016 and later, IRS upped the $500 de minimus threshold to $2,500. For small business, writing everything off which costs less than $2,500 is now great way to reduce profits. That’s right, $2,500 a pop. For example, for a food vendor, almost everything they buy, except the truck they use, will cost less than $2,500 so they write them off and pay less tax.

How our government wastes our money
.We pay extra $85 to avoid 3 hour lines at airport. Isn’t that what terrorist would do?
.We pay NFL teams when they honor servicepeople—and you thought they cared!

SCAMS
.MS schools ordered to desegregate after 62 years – unequal education benefits
