US Birthrate Continues to Decline

60% federal income tax rate on top of property taxes, state taxes, sales taxes, etc.? Are we still taking about a progressive rate, meaning all money above 1 million is taxed at 60% and money below is progressively taxed less down to 40k?

I would let you go back to filling out Schedule A to deduct those other taxes. What we used to do before Trump screwed with the tax code to mess with the Blue states.

The rich aren't paying their fair share, that's the point.

The Jean Carrol and other lawsuits like this are DEFINITE pauses for men to get anywhere near a woman. It doesn't matter if sex was consensual or not....she can change her mind and claim now it wasn't 20 years ago. Several high profile cases like this will definitely curb any amorous feelings any guy might have.

So don't have sex with a woman who isn't your wife.

Problem solved.

The poor aren’t paying their fair share.

The second graphs are hard to fathom. The harder those people work the farther behind they seem to get.

cause: Feminism telling our women to choose careers over being wives and mothers. Everywhere from our schools to the media that is what they hear. It is slavery they're told.
Solution: Male pregnancy through womb transplant? It solves the population problem and it doesn't do what feminism is planting in their minds.

The post where I explained about Henry Ford, the wages he paid, and the price of a car.

A day's wages THEN was 3.75% of a car's selling price. Today a day's wages is 0.4% of a car's selling price. Both wages were for unskilled labor....except I fluffed up today's wages a bit to $20/hr.

Meaning that today's incomes are one tenth of what they once were even if we are making a lot more dollars.
The second set of charts is mathematically demonstrating how this got worse in the past several years. Meaning....even if you got a cost of living raise you are still making less than you were.

This is the start of GenX.....
By the 70's and 80's most kid's parents each had their own job and vehicle.
