Why don't they just limit it to hsts if that's the purpose ......how will this affect the person who weekly have money taken out for their 401?

If you are speaking about income, that's not a trade.
It is because it goes in weekly. You are buying stocks or mutuals

Most do not trade much. But the question was about money being taken out.
No it wasn't. They are buying every week, often more than one fund

Very little in trades for most but all the same, we have built a 28 trillion debt, why shouldn't we be willing to pay for that? You want to leave it to your kids so you can afford the desert after dinner?

Actually when you are forced to take the RMD out of a 401K or IRA you do so by selling off the stocks and/.or mutual fund shares in your portfolio.

So you want to add a tax to buy stocks and\ or mutual funds and a tax to sell those same funds what about the sales of or purchases of funds the people who manage the mutual funds in your retirement make make?

You are basically arguing for death by 1000 cuts

For the majority it would be a very small percent. I'll ask you the same. You want to add to the debt and leave it for your kids so you can get the dessert after dinner?

We need to spend less not take more money from the people.

The fucking government has proven that no matter how much money we allow them to take from us that it will never be enough

We don't need to address the trillions we have spent and not paid for?

I disagree.

And letting people keep their own retirement money isn't adding to the debt.

And i don't have kids. I didn't vote for any of the politicians that have run up the debt.

The corrupt politicians have proven by their actions that no matter how much we allow them to take from us that it will never be enough. We need to force them to spend less b y starving them into submission.
 
OMG
These fuckin loons will tax orgasms if they could.
Goddamn authoritarians!

You prefer just giving money away and adding to the debt?

Trump's Road to Socialism | Tho Bishop
No, we propose the politicians stop pissing away money.
Politicians are not going to pay down the debt. No votes in it.

I'll buy that when people actually start voting for that. Until then I'll support programs that actually pay for what we spend.

Spend less now and use the difference to pay the debt. But like I have said before the debt isn't really as important as you make it out to be because most of it is owned by Americans

I didn't say that but you know I did not say that.

You support being a dead beat country I suppose. Your 401k isn't worth a fraction of where it is at now without the massive debt by the government. It's time to pay for that.

That's the Dem way. Tax anything and everything you can. The dummies never learned what Kennedy, Reagan and Trump knew. Cutting taxes pours more money into the economy and Fed coffers than raising them ever did or will.

They ain't to swift.

My portfolio is doing just fine thank you very much I'm running double digit RORs and have been for the past 2 years.

And the debt has not added anything to my portfolio since i don't own any US Treasury bonds.

And FYI if the government is paying the interest on the bonds it has issued then it is not a deadbeat
 
I agree

Right now the super wealthy are only taxed on their income. They are clever enough not to claim income. We cannot touch their wealth.
A small fee on transactions (like a sales tax) will open up their wealth to taxation
These people are taxed on that money as capital gains, Stupid.
 
All these taxes start to add up

Our debt isn't?
You mean SPENDING

Spending that has led to massive debt. Why shouldn't we pay for that?
Cut spending. We haven't paid for our spending to begin with. If we had we wouldn't be in debt.
CUT SPENDING

When people actually start voting for that I will take the argument seriously. Until then I'm going to go with realities.
