I read an article this afternoon 1/29/21 about how Yellen wants to make it easier for retirees. How about stopping the illegal tax on social security. This was supposed to be non taxed income. Now over 75 % of taxed as income. How about not taxing 401's or 403b's for the retired. They paid throughout their lives and now it's time to get paid back.

we got about 20 years of middle class post WWII, never before, never again. A brilliant strategy, throw a dog a bone so it doesn't bite you, then take it away and promise if it behaves you'll give it back. Never gettin' that bone again. The whole damn system rotten to it's core. Time for something new.

[@carbonfibercarpet4655]

Yup, Republicans and Trump especially have destroyed the middle class

[@beebob1279]

@@carbonfibercarpet4655 Actually, the democratic party is largely responsible for the destruction of the middle class. Treaties with other nations (NAFTA, etc.) promoted by democrats took jobs away from middle class workers and sent them overseas. Other trade treaties did the same thing. Then corporations fled to China (favorable to democrats) that crushed our middle class. The worse thing that the republicans did was crush the labor union movement.

[@dasleepytime340]

Wtf are you talking about she is about 20 years out of her prime. She did a terrible job at the fed. Notice how she didnt actually answer any of the hard questions.... She is way out of her depth. With the world economies moving toward cryptocurrencies and her saying that "most crypto transactions fund terrorism" (only.23% involve illict activities) shows she knows nothing about the direction of world economy. She is too old and stuck in the past when it comes to improving the american economy.

In 2020 research shows that 0.34% of crypto transaction were illicit. 2X the ENTIRE! crypto currency market cap has been laundered through major banks in recent years. Criminals wear running shoes, I think running shoes use should be curtailed. Money launderers use duffel bags full of cash. I think you should curtail the use of duffel bags and cash.

Another administration that seems to only care about Wall Street going up. Spend whatever you have to, to that makes this happen. The country’s debt keeps going up, which used to be a big problem, but not anymore as long as the Dow & Nasdaq keep going higher. I’m no expert, but can this game continue? Why work, open up an online trading account and day trade. Pluck a few grand a day, watch a movie on Netflix and relax. Seems too good to be true , but it’s been true for a while now and doesn’t look like this dream scenario is going to end anytime soon. Anyhow, time to pick a stock and a movie for today’s win! 😎
