Trump wants 35% to 15%
tax rate for bizz; cut your rate too
Wealthy receive most
of the benefits from this tax cut that will cost
$5.5 Trillion over 10 years. Trump staff claim it will not raise the
deficit. Bush
II claimed same and deficit up 57%. Corporations are considered to have unlimited
speech rights like humans and Trump wants to cut their taxes so they have
more to spend on our elections. Your
tax rate is closer to 35% all in, but you don’t have the Supremes citizen
united decision in your favor. You can’t give unlimited dollars to make
sure your policies are followed by your rep in Washington . How is that a fair playing field? If you
were a Congress person and your next election was riding on how you treat your
donors, who
would you listen to? You, average
citizen earning $50,000, or big oil, big coal, big
pharma, big agriculture, big banks, big investors? No contest; lobbyists
win. Trump will solidify the corporate control of America as a banana
republic where “the little people” pay the taxes and the wealthy and
corporations take the benefits. Many corporations hide their earnings overseas
in complicated tax shelters even the IRS does not understand.
We have only one
option.

person’s tax shelter: https://www.amazon.com/Your-ZERO-Tax-Account-Like-Wealthy/dp/1482772795
Don Trump could be a
great president
Student loans could be refinanced at 2% instead of private
companies charging us 4-8%
Some loans are at a fixed
rate as high as 12.87%. Instead of firms and our gov making $ billions in
profits on our loans, lower rates could help close the delinquency
gap. Since our taxes guarantee profits to these private firms, why not use
those funds to lower the rates making
the payments less difficult. Trump’s legacy would be a whole generation of
thankful students and parents. Many retirees are still paying their kids high
rate loans after years; never refinanced to a bank HELOC rate of 2.99%.
The future of America ’s youth should not be left to the guaranteed
profit of the federal government and a few privileged firms like Sallie
Mae Bank with Return
on average equity of 19.63%.

Wells Fargo created millions
of fake accounts—How did regulators miss it?
Are we not surprised
that year after year, this big bank could encourage front-line workers to
commit fraud? We know why they did it—because “that is where the money is”
as bank robber Willie Sutton said. What is a mystery is how did the regulators
miss it? 1.5
million fake accounts is hard to hide. Unless senior management and
regulators looked the other way on purpose. Actually, the city of Los Angeles sued in 2015 because a customer complained.
Finally in September 2016 the new federal regulator CFPB, that Senator
Warren championed, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau stepped in. The
bank regulator, Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), did nothing even with 700
whistle-blower complaints as of 2010. The bank’s
board did not respond to complaints in 2005, 06, 07, etc. Without Obama’s CFPB, banks and other financial firms
could get away with ‘murder’—robbing $5 million in fees for overdraft etc and
ruining credit scores for HALF a million customers. Oh and 5,300
employees lost their jobs too.
When the banks
control the regulators, called regulatory
capture you know it is wrong.
Populist Trump wants
to end Obama’s customer protection and leave regulation to the bankers
themselves. He will let big banks continue
to subvert Dodd-Frank regulations. Prepare for TrumpWorld: https://www.amazon.com/Your-Retirement-Income-Checklist-TrumpWorld/dp/1544703260
Once you have your
nest egg, how do you make it last?
If you are nearing
retirement and you have built your nest egg, how are you going to keep it
growing? Few retirees sit with someone and answer the question, “How will you
have enough for 30 or 40 years?” Once you hit 66, you or your spouse has a good chance of hitting age 90.
When you spend 4-5% of your nest egg and your advisor has you in “never lose
money” fixed investments of 2%, you can do the math—you end up with $0. In 20
years, your fixed annuity or pension amount will be guaranteed
but the payments will be worth HALF their value. The IRS requires that you
withdrawal a “Required Minimum Distribution” every year so you can pay taxes on
your nest egg gains. You face huge penalties if you chose to conserve your nest
egg and ignore the RMD. You can ignore your advisor’s choice and take the
calculated risk all wealthy people do. They maintain a “balanced” portfolio
during their whole time in retirement.
A low-cost (0.08%)
balanced fund would have earned 8.77% in 2016 and cost you only $400 on a $½
million nest egg. A balanced account with 60% bonds 40% stocks would have
averaged 6% a year even with the losses in 2008. Over the next 15 years, you
not only could have maintained your eggs, you could have added some. In a
low-cost balanced fund managed by a licensed advisor on salary and backed by the largest mutual fund company in the
world, you could have doubled your eggs. You would have enough no matter what
happened in the future on Wall Street.
Obama’s
legacy—history will tell the story of Two Americas
Future generations
will look back and discuss what went wrong at the beginning of health care in America using examples. Even now as Congress fights
a civil war over the issue of health
as a right or as a privilege of class, we can see history in the making. In
one state, the premiums are doubling and there is only one provider. In
another, premiums are steady and there are 4 providers. In a state like KY, the
Dem government
embraced the exchanges where thousands got to pick their own quality care for
the first time ever. The GOP came to power in 2015 and reversed
the progress in people’s health coverage. In other jurisdictions,
conservative state politicians blocked care for the most needy from the
beginning. Some states were just not going to give the new plan a chance. “I
was never for Obamacare from the beginning,” John D. Doak, the Oklahoma insurance commissioner, said. A small
business owner feels that the needy receive subsidies and he does not because
his income is much greater. Some states ignore ideology and take steps to
create the best market for their citizens. Some states control insurer’s rates
and plan benefits and don’t let insurers sell junk plans. Now the president is using
health care subsidies as a stick to force Dems to vote for his wall spending
bill. Under the new GOP health bill, Congress
keeps for itself the 10 Obama essential benefits. House Republicans quietly inserted a provision in the
latest version of their health care overhaul plan that exempts
members and their staffs from the GOP effort to repeal or shred most of the
Obamacare regulations and protections, including those guaranteeing
Americans a broad array of medical services and restrictions on premium hikes
for older and sicker people.

privilege of class?: https://www.amazon.com/Americas-Socialism-for-Rich-little-people/dp/1535218584
Read this before you
file for Social Security, especially if born before 1954
‘The life you save
could be your own.’ If you are getting near your full retirement benefit age of
66, or if you are thinking of filing early, read this caution about filing
yourself: https://www.benefitnews.com/news/avoid-a-real-mess-on-social-security.
Even though you may be in a hurry and don’t want to wait, wait for an
appointment with your local office. Why? There are ways
for both of you to collect while one of you continues to increase their
benefits. Yes, the difference is significant. If you file for ‘restricted’ spousal benefits
only, your spouse can collect a spouse benefit and their own at the same time.
If you file at age 62 because you are unemployable and she is over age 66 and
still working you can make up for your ¼ cut by using her spousal benefit too. When
she reaches age 70, she will receive the highest benefit possible. That may be $2,769
versus $1,485 a month. Working together with an SS clerk, you can maximize your
benefits. Even
if you are divorced, this can work in certain situations. Make an
appointment 6 months before you expect to file or by age 62 to see if you
qualify.

benefits: https://www.amazon.com/Maximize-Social-Security-Benefits-Retirement/dp/1495439224
Would you buy a car
that would lose 38% of value in FIRST year?
The famous Jaguar XK
costs about $85k. They lost 29.2 percent of their value in the last 12
months. Jag XK are like the 20 cars on
this list of cars plummeting in value. Some are ordinary like Chevy Impala
and some are rare like the Genesis. Some are losing 38% of value and some are
losing the standard 20% in the first year. Style and customer preferences
account for the most of the drops. For the value shopper, this makes this list
a perfect starting point to deal for a 3 year old luxury ride. A $70,000 car
for $20,000 is exactly how millionaires maintain their Working Millionaire status:

Trump tax cut for corporations and wealthy class adds $5.5

Trump GOP budget: GOP
cuts programs of folks who have no
power to oppose cuts. Cowardly. The Don does not
like diplomacy, aid to poor, US environment or culture, finding cures for disease, transportation and education
programs. Cuts only the poor.
19 Agencies you may use being cut
from American society: The Don does not like Meals on Wheels, Sesame St. NPR
radio, Arts, Miners retraining, Seniors volunteers for poor, Americorp youth help poor, 62 in all for $343 billion.
Trump’s budget man wants to cut Medicare and delay Social Security
benefits to age 70.
What GOP does NOT cut:
No cuts to subsidies to Boeing,
GE, Intel, Nike, Shell, Fiat, GM, Ford,
hundreds more.
No cuts to govt cost overruns of $ trillions
each year. And Congressperson subsidies.
Wealthy 1% will

No

Flynn
as paid secret agent while US official
Flynn, as part of
the Trump campaign and named security advisor, had access to all US secrets and was secretly in the pay of Turkey and Russian spy handlers. Flynn
at Putin’s RT party. He received $530,000. Isn’t
this treason? By law a US
officer cannot receive money from foreign governments. Like Ben Arnold, he
was official of US government while being paid by foreign powers. Flynn is not
alone. Other Trump operatives are also under investigation by
the FBI for potentially illegal contact with senior Russian intelligence operatives. Donald Trump also
has a longtime pattern of open admiration for gangsters and organized crime. FBI is following the Steele
memo on Trump activities in Russia. FBI, NSA said Russia sought to influence the election. 35% GOP
say didn’t.
Did Trump do a
background on his hires? Or were Flynn, Page, Manafort plants under Putin
control and leveraged by the Trump scandal hidden in Putin’s video player?
Civilians conspire

we are fighting in Syria and Ukraine . Isn’t this treason?
Flynn was warned
