But you understand that property tax is not designed to get some money from you, right? It is designed to control you, force you to work forever, and not allow you to have safe life that billionaires enjoy. Property tax is a tool of a torture, not an economical tool.
I guarantee that nearly 100% of population will welcome increased sales tax in exchange to zeroing out property tax, but I can also guarantee that elites will never allow this to happen.
Luckily, and we are very grateful, hubby and I have done very well. We made smart financial decisions and always lived below our means. We will be fine regardless. Hubby retired last summer at 65 and I will retire this summer at 55. We are truly blessed.
Seriously? An unexpected disruption due to covid is all you've got? That's 2000 EM doctors out of how many total? What percentage is that? Worst case, cross over into non-emergency medicine. Let me know when licensed doctors have to start living on food stamps.
Seriously? You don't know that 4% is greater than 1.8%? The only thing covid did - is accelerated the demand/supply curves intersect by just 8 months. Intersect was expected in Jan'21, but happened in April'20. From that moment on there are more EM doctors than needed.
"Cross over into non-emergency medicine", seriously? Residency along will be at least another 3 years - and they have to pay their loans already. Also, can you guarantee that their new specialty would not be subject to the same problem? Oh, wait, I forgot - "they made bad, irresponsible choice", according to you.
" Let me know when licensed doctors have to start living on food stamps" - already happening. One of the links says that directly: "“Even some physicians have lost their jobs, a trend Merritt Hawkins has never witnessed in our 33-year history,” the staffing firm writes."
But you can keep saying that all these people made bad, irresponsible choices.
You make payments like everyone else who has a loan does. How do you not know that?
It absolutely was your fault, and no one else's, that you signed one or more student loan contracts. Why can't you accept responsibility for your own actions?
I can't make payments.
Why can't you read? Is your bot programming glitching? So it's my fault I'm not clairvoyant? It's my fault I almost failed high school because I didn't want to leave? Yes okay it's all my fault. I'm a loser I'm stupid. I'm worthless. It's my fault I didn't know how to tie my shoes. It's my fault I peed my pants in elementary school. It's my fault my finger got stuck in the VCR. See what happens when you accept responsibility for your own actions?

if your current location does not have the jobs you desire, then you NEED to be willing to look else where
A job coach. I mean I have but they won't hire me because I'm not there.

I've looked for remote work. Even those sometimes requires you to live in a certain location, not sure why. All I've really found other than that is mostly just telemarketing or something like that.
That's the thing: my desire since I was 12 was to move to another state but I have never been able to make that happen. I would lose my coach if I moved out there. I don't know about transferring my job so I would need to find another one. So it's that good old catch 22: Need a job to get out there but need to be out there to get a job.
That’s actually not true. I’ve been working virtually for the past 20 years and it’s even more plausible in the Covid world. I can literally live anywhere and do my job. Virtual jobs are plentiful if you look for them.

I'm so tired of looking anymore.

Is it legit? My previous coach told me to mostly use Indeed (and LinkedIn) but I will look.
I think it's hilarious anyone in this thread objecting to Warren's proposal believes they will be personally affected by this, and just to be sure, the slope would have to get slippery beyond comprehension to have it trickle down to then losing a dime in this action.
You folks need to quit worrying about things you'll never have any part of.

The Ladders is totally legit. I was amazed at how many professional, high paying jobs they have listed. I cleaned up with them, especially with remote opportunities.
How much in gains are they actually realizing? They can live on a very moderate income, and finance the rest on loans backed by their unrealized and therefore untaxed assets. Raising the capital gains tax rate won't harm them. They'll just adjust their gains realization to loans ratio as needed to minimize their tax liability.
and that's part of my point of "finding the right way to do it".
We tried to put CEO pay in check, and tie it to performance, and we turned a ton of their income/wealth into non-taxable items. It didn't come close to doing what it's intent was.
and really speaks volumes to a highly-simplified tax code, one that might even tax you annually on "wealth".
