Think about OUR GRANDCHILDREN
They’ll just have to start pitching in early. The free ride is over!
Back in mah day I mowed the yard as soon as I could walk
Oh yeah? Well I did that while walking uphill both ways in the snow. Naked!

Greatest. Generation. Ever.
Yeah reminds me of a joke I saw awhile back.
Remember when your parents said if you didn’t behave when you were a kid they were going to make you sorry and we just thought we were going to be punished? Little did we know they were talking about crashing the housing market.
I wonder if anyone is selling bootstraps for real cheap?

I’m just saying it’s no surprise that even though the corporate tax rate was cut none of those savings are making it into the workers pockets.
Nothing. It’s not up to the government to make those kinds of decisions for a private company.
But by doing nothing you run the risk of the growing popularity of politicians who are willing to take dramatic action… are you sure ceding the field to socialists like Sanders is the best political strategy.
The Federal Government provides tax incentives for many actions that corporations carry out. Let’s not pretend like any new action would be unprecedented
I’m confused. I expressed my opinion. Do you seriously believe you will get me to change it?
I think all people are capable of growth no matter how much they resist it.
So you refuse to let me disagree with you? It’s a good thing that we live in a free country where you can’t force your will on me.
I can make this easy for you. I’m done.
What a victim! I refused you nothing. I offered you the path to enlightenment but fully recognize your freedom to spurn it.
How do you see coercion in disagreement.

Why this change from you?
Well this thread took a wacky turn.
Bonuses? My yearly bonus can never go down. It’s not possible.

There was never any conservative view on how to turn the tide, but rather support for the status quo. An odd turn for populists. And an opening for Elizabeth Warren, who is the most detailed and realistic thinker on this issue.

Gotta pay for those baby boomers that didnt save for retirement. Just buy some shares so you dont have to do any real work.

I’ve never understood tying retirement “savings” to the ■■■■■■■ stock market which is effectively gambling in the first place. I especially don’t understand it now that the “professionals” who are supposedly investing your retirement money face no consequences (again) for losing your money gambling on the stock market. (Thanks Trump.) It’s like we forgot about all the people who lost their retirement “savings” during the Bush recession and instead of learning from that mistake, we’re tripling down and tying everyone’s retirement savings to the ■■■■■■■ stock market. But hey, you can opt out. Maybe. If your company doesn’t stick a portion of your earnings into a 401k by default and you submit the paperwork to opt out in time. I really love it when employers “offer” these plans and don’t offer any sort of matching then act like they’re doing you a huge favor by giving you the “option” of handing over a portion of your check to these “professionals” to gamble with instead of just giving you the money to invest yourself especially when they do this ■■■■ by default. Simply the best. Oh and we’re not going to pay you more since we’re counting this as part of your compensation even though we’re giving it to someone else to gamble it and the Federal government will tax the ■■■■ out of it if you do fail to opt out in time but choose to put your money elsewhere before they have a chance to lose it for you before you retire. Win win.
