Trump tax breaks: for bling-bling; not jobs
Can you believe that the wealthy waste $110
million for this instead of creating new jobs and new businesses? This is
what Trump’s tax credit class does with tax cuts that we have to pay for. (Who
else makes up the loss in revenue?) Looks like wall graffiti in Brooklyn? Wealthy
people buy toys and art that do NOT create jobs. Jobs are created when the middle
class has money to spend. But their income
has not increased above inflation since 1974. Rich people don’t wake up one
day and think they can put their extra tax break money into a new factory. Why
would they pay $20 an hour for labor when they can pay $1 an hour? Even ‘Make
America Great’ Ivanka
does not make her clothes line here in the US .
Wealthy people and their advisors buy yachts. Advisors’
customers don’t buy yachts. Keep your Wall Street advisor fees. Create your
own tax break.

Trump could be a great president
He could end ever-increasing health care costs by using his
“negotiating” skills. He could end
the Bush II ban on negotiating drug prices. He could follow the VA contract
for Medicare and ACA. He could negotiate a fair price for common procedures and
treatment so everyone would know how much broken bones, colonoscopy and epipens
cost in every state. He promised
on the campaign to reduce obscene costs. Americans will have “great
health care at a fraction of the cost.” Bring down drug prices
by importing
cheaper medications from overseas and allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Require price
transparency from health-care providers so patients can shop for the
best prices. “You will be able to choose
your own doctor again.”
Trump could be a great president but his Xorders and agency appointments are being shaped
by lobbyists from religious right, NRA, health insurance, oil and gas, IT.
He has put the oil drillers shill at the EPA, private school advocate at
Education, TX dancer at Energy, bank money launderer at Commerce, and movie
producer at Treasury. He has cut investor and worker protection regs to allow
abuse of consumers again. He is turning America into a Tammany Hall-style
political business supporting his brand.

Is the new border
tax right for you?
Congress should reject
a proposed $1 trillion border adjustment tax (BAT) that would drive up
prices for us and cost us jobs. This is the plea of retailers. They say: the
Ryan-Brady plan would transition the United States from its long-standing
income tax system toward a consumption
tax system. The plan includes a 20% border adjustment tax on
imports including auto parts that go in new cars and every car that is maintained.
My 98 Subaru window control was just replaced and it came from Mexico. It cost
over $100 new. It would cost $120 if leader Ryan’s new tax were in effect.
Higher costs may mean fewer purchases and thus fewer Americans working. Tax
increases should NOT be focused on those who spend almost all our income on
products that are needed. It should focused on those who buy bling-bling. They have the
money to spare, not us.

Trump to cancel
school services so we can pay for rich kids in private schools
Mental health services. Civics and arts programs.
International education and language studies. Anti-bullying activities. Gifted
and talented initiatives. Full-service community schools. Check if your child’s
assistance program is on the list
of cuts. Most are aimed at students from low-income families and students
with disabilities. Even
Russian commented on the cruelty of the cuts. Justification for cuts is
that it ‘duplicates activities that may be supported with other Federal,
State, local, and private funds.’ Education funding is a local mix of programs
that may not happen in poorer communities. Billionaire
DeVos has never worked nor sent kids to public schools so these cuts could
be chosen capriciously. She advocates private religious education and wants the
public to pay for it. Trump has proposed redirecting $20 billion in federal
spending toward a grant program for states to expand vouchers and charter
schools. NC GOP is in sync with Trump’s plan: N.C. Senate cut education funding — but
only in Democratic districts. AZ
hires teachers without training or certificate for public schools so GOP
can send kids to private or religious schools. KS
tried the Trump cuts plan and is almost bankrupt now.

Is your advisor right on retirement income?
Is your advisor giving you 1990s advice still? Things have
changed since the 4%
rule worked 25 years ago. First, you are less likely to remain a
couple. Second, your nest egg may not
be earning what it could have then. Third, you may live longer—45%
chance to live to be over age 90 if you are 71. Fourth, 1-year interest
rates are now 1.4% not 8.75%.
Fifth, what did the Monte
Carlo analysis determine? Sixth, are all your future liabilities fundable
in the correct sequence? Seventh, is your Spending
Plan in place? Eighth, is your investing sustainable? Ask
your advisor to check your income stream with this guide. Remember, your
advisor is paid to serve the firm NOT you -- only Fiduciary.

GOP tries and fails to create segregated voting again
White NC racists engaged in an ‘unconstitutional racial
gerrymander’ according to the Supremes. "The Constitution entrusts states
with the job of designing congressional districts," Justice Elena Kagan
wrote for the majority. "But it also imposes an important constraint: A
state may not
use race as the predominant factor in drawing district lines." Gorsuch
did not hear the case or the vote may have been different. Voters in seven
states — Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, New Jersey and Washington
— have turned to independent commissions in an effort to reduce political
"gerrymandering," the map-drawing method that leads to districts
easily won by Democrats or Republicans.
Will Trump stop Dems from voting with special rules from myth of voter
fraud? There have been 492 cases of mostly local elections by absentee
ballot from 2000 to 2017. 492 of 480 million ballots. Typical:
Olivia Lee Reynolds was convicted of 24 counts of voter fraud. While working on
the 2013 campaign for her boyfriend, she filled out absentee ballots for
voters. Trump’s ‘proof’: people are registered in two states. Not
illegal. Jared,
Sean, Steve, and Tiffany are a few of your own team. Don, not illegal to be
registered.
Every
study has shown there is less than 0.00000013 % fraud. Trump’s real fake
news.
Credit Unions for your emergency funds?
Checking accounts are NOT usually the place to hold your
funds for short-term savings but we found
another exception: 1.75%. Need cash; write a check or ATM. Need a loan; pay
1% less. Anyone can join.
Will GOP take your coverage away with TrumpCare?
Will you be in the 23
million Americans that lose coverage under AHCA? It cuts more than $1
trillion from the assistance the government gives low- and moderate-income
Americans, primarily through Medicaid. That means those in their 50-60s would
see 850%
increase. In some states, you
couldn’t buy ANY policy. The bill also restructures the system of insurance
marketplaces created by Obamacare to guarantee health coverage to Americans,
even if they are sick. Before the 10 essential benefits, insurers could charge
smaller premiums but then limit or deny you coverage when you got sick or ended
up in the hospital. Millions of us fell into debt or bankruptcy from medical
bills. GOP could cover everyone as a birth right as in "Life, Liberty
and the pursuit of Happiness" which America promised were “inherent
& inalienable” rights. Instead, the GOP will use the money from your health
care to buy
Trump an aircraft carrier and other military toys. But terrorists don’t
have ships or planes. If you live in a GOP state, your premiums may go down but
your policy will not cover you for much. And what if you are in an accident you
may get well but in bankruptcy.
Remember, Congressmen
who voted TrumpCare for us will keep their ObamaCare coverage because it is
better coverage.
Why should we accept less than they receive for free?
30 cars Consumer Reports says are “never
buy”
You can buy any car that meets your fancy and people do.
Savvy shoppers know in advance what they are getting themselves in for. Overpaying
for a car may be our second biggest financial mistake. How much does the
ego boost or peer envy cost? They are all here from Fiat to Tesla. You do NOT
get what you pay for in vehicles or in financial products. You have to
understand what you buy and the seller is the least qualified to help you do
that.

Who can view your credit report legally?
Reputable firms ask your permission first but lenders,

their name. You can obtain all three free each year at https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action
Police want gun control.
When everyone has guns; your
chance of being killed goes up. Police don’t know who
to shoot. They assume everyone has one and shoot
first. You and thief have guns. CO schools now allow
teachers/administrators to carry
guns in the classroom. Kid lesson! Since 2015, police have killed
86 people with realistic looking FAKE guns--suicide?
