You are naive as hell. People really don't know the reall story on social security, medicare, and state & local govt retirement benefits. The retirement medical care is EXPENSIVE. A friend who was a fireman in Pittsburgh told me "You think I got good healthcare, the teachers NEVER pay a...
How about that BigHorn! The Penna & New York retirees move to Florida and condos to rent out, and pay not state income tax. But they still maintain a house for 5.5 mos up in their "favorite" state. They want Biden in for another 4 years so he can give a handout to these states to filter money...
Depending on the state, the pensions are sinking some states. California for one. Some prison gaurds have retired on $250,000-300,000 a year in pension. Probably Illinois, Penna, NY, MI, to name a few. Maybe the slary isn't that high but pensions and medical benefits are out of control.
Ive heard that argument before. It kinda assumes that only a certain amount of financial security will ever make people happy. You are guaranteed a minimum pension...at somebody else's expense. I ask you: What kind of bad behavior does that reinforce permanently??? It lets that camel's nose...
Shot my .338 for the first time on Saturday. Actually, my nephew was the one who shot it. We were just trying to get it out the page, having put a new scope on the rifle. I only brought 4 cartridges along. 10 hour drive, phew. We got it within 4" at 50 yards. It really didn't kick too bad. My...
I bought 2 of those also, but the fabric is foreign, FYI. It wasn't as thick as the Johnson shirts. The jacket and 2 jacshirts by Johnson feel incredibly warm. And Johnson has many more tall sizes.
Just got 2 different pairs of Schnee pac boots. They are awesome. Also bought various pieces of wool Hunting clothes just in the last week from Johnson Woolen Mills. Awesome quality. Can't wait to get my Montana Elk deer combo tag, hopefully, in 2 weeks
Dick Cabela rolled over in his grave when his pride and joy was sold to scummy Johnny Morris. I had been a customer for 25 years, and just after JPMorgan private equity bought them, I knew the company would head into the shitter, so I bought a bunch of stuff in preparation. And sure enough, when...
After reading numerous articles, and watching videos from a guy named Clayes Hayes, who did Survivor, I came to the conclusion I needed wool clothing. What sold me was "keeps you warm even when wet". I did searches and ended up buying a few Pendelton shorts and sweaters. And finally, I found a...
So, here's what is totally wrong with your simplistic analysis.
1. Your analysis assumes that the bulk of the money is in stocks for a 40 yr period. 1. Stocks don't EVER grow in a straight line. Stocks have have been know to not do shit for 16 years then surge. Returns have been incredible...
Correct. There was a period where stock didn't do shit for 16, yes 16, years. The market, and stock returns have been artificially pumped up by fiscal & monetary policy, i.e. our govt thru the wealth effect.
The invite is there. You don't get it. Whether I'm alive or dead, doesn't matter. So, you stick the next generation with these crooks. They thank you in advance. And I know what the definition of jealosy is. Go reread your writings and your framework. There are so called conservatives that don't...
Where do you draw the line!! And there in lies the rub! Charities have been notoriously corrupt. Look at what United Way did 30 years ago. Executives hauling down huge salaries, extravagant headquarters building, corporate jets, etc. Just look at what Wayne LaPierre did for the NRA. If you give...
You are free in this country to hand over all your wealth to them then. I know your hard earned dollars will be well spent to help the masses. Just post the check on here so we can see that you eat your own cooking.
