      Property tax is on the state . Corporate profits are an all time high. Overpriced housing is on property owners making their profits to reinvest in MORE property.
      Change taxes on the rich, make corporations pay their fare share. They use roads, infrastructure, and benefit from all we pay for, while not increasing pay for labor, admin assistants, etc.
      Just a thought.

    • @MckensyLong
      @MckensyLong 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      My first impression is because it doesnt look good. But wonder if its because it creates an infinite loop, as inflation rises, taxes go up exponentially. If you double your income, you pay more than double in taxes. Meaning it's a net loss. (and doesnt apply equally depending on where you start) Its hardest for the lower and middle income brackets.
      if i make $100
      Taxes is $30
      Cost of living is $70... $100 of $100
      Now i make $200 (move into a higher tax bracket)
      Taxes is $70
      Cost of living is $140... $210 of $200
      I'm negative $10.
      Wife and I were able to increase our income nearly 50% with my wife taking on some other income. We still feel like were negative 20% from the year or 2 prior.
      I couldnt imagine if we didnt take on the extra work, like most people cannot.
      I suppose if you own a house, and a car at low interest rates and your job stayed the same the effect on you personally wasn't as much as someone whose rent nearly doubled.

      The price fixing by the corporations will never come down. Your 20 oz bag of Doritos when you grew up will now be a 8.5 oz bag, with '2% of increases a year'. Don't believe that everything macro can be fixed. Just because things grow slower don't mean that they don't still grow. And the corps know this.

      Higher rates makes it more expensive for companies and people to borrow money. If they keep rates high, companies have a more difficult time investing in new projects, and consumers have more expensive mortgages and auto loans.
      That's not to say that your can't still keep rates high. There's just a trade-off to be had. And the Fed has to try to balance those trade-offs.

      We're never on the edge of runaway inflation, that's silly. People have predicted runaway inflation forever and it never manifests. When we DO get inflation, it is not "runaway" in the sense that it happens due to specific policy choices, and specific policy choices can reign it in. There's not some line we cross where it is suddenly completely out of everyone's hands and there's nothing the government can possibly do. EVEN IF the government pursues recklessly inflationary policy for a long time - like in Weimar Germany, say - the moment they find the political will to get it under control, they do. In Weimar, they stopped printing money, moved to a new currency, and bam; basically overnight they went from hyperinflation to no inflation. It was the subsequent Depression and austerity, not inflation, that led to the Nazis.

    Inflation may be "tumbling" but what they fail to communicate is that its the RATE that is falling, i.e. things are so much more expensive now than they were 2-3 years ago and they will NEVER go back to where they were. Prices are just growing slightly slower now 🙃 And wages have not gone up to equalize to the damage done, so we are still suffering from insane inflation despite it being "dead"
