Your comment to me was money not being the most important !!!

Now you're scared about retirement !!! Why ? Money !!! Then whine about the constitution !!! The constitution isn't legal tender and you won't squeeze a dime out of it !!!

Retirement is not for everybody and maybe its not for you !!!
The worst plan I ever heard of was counting on what a politician might do !!!

Biden's pledge to nominate a Black woman to SCOTUS is unconstitutional race and sex discrimination.

As for Biden's pledge to expand federal taxpayer-funded health care and education, both are unconstitutional and shouldn't even exist to begin with since they're not a Constitutionally enumerated power of the Fed Gov (they're both powers of each state). Reference the Constitution's Article 1 Section 8 and the 10th Amendment.

There are many more. Start researching.
Trump is funneling our money into his own pocket, has the most nepotism in presidential history, and has an administration with more criminal indictments than any other president in history. You're worried about wearing a mask?

...that the Trump administration has more criminal indictments than any other presidential administration is a point of fact. Trump has family members on government payroll. Are you claiming that's not the case?

How many believe that corporate tax cuts are passed down to employees through wages or other benefits? The company that I worked for put in an extra $1,500 into 401K in the first year, but nothing else after that. I still say that many american voters don't really care for tax cuts for even those who make over $100k, whom many consider to be "rich".
A drop in the bucket for them considering how much they made off. That's why they love tax cuts. Many companies won't even do what yours did. They just keep it all. Some will even lay off workers to maximize those profits.

That's news to me.
Yes. They do. They don't become a billionaire by spending every cent you earn on yachts, cars, jewelry, etc.

Actually, Trump is donating his salary to various causes. Why didn't Obama or Biden do that?

First, that's not hoarding, that's spending back into the economy. Secondly, that spending supports the manufacturing and selling companies and their employees.

Cautionary tale for you on what happened when a luxury tax was implemented on yachts, jewelry, private jets, etc., in the 1990s. Unintended Consequences. The rich simply stopped buying them. It cost the government more in unemployment and public assistance benefits than it generated in tax revenue, and destroyed entire industries:

How to sink entire industries and NOT soak the rich - Washington Post

Furthermore, like I said, their wealth*provides the capital investments in America's corporations thereby providing jobs to so many people and providing the ability of corporations to produce life-necessity goods and services*for the benefit of everyone else.

You haven’t been keeping up have ya? The dems are the ones that want to shred our constitution along with its amendments. If dems are allowed to have power rioters will be absolutely free to break those encased documents and actually shred them.

"risky", it is a total disaster.


"I still say that many american voters don't really care for tax cut" Yet I don't know a SINGLE one who mailed in the amount of the cut they got BACK to Uncle Sam. did YOU?
