re: Biden proposed 44.6% Capital Gains tax, 25% tax on Unrealized Gains
Posted by mule74 on 4/26/24 at 1:07 pm
Are they going to give you a credit for unrealized losses?
What if you get taxed on the gains, continue to hold the position, and then have a loss? Are they going to refund you for that initial tax hit?...
re: Minimizing Tax Bill

My wife and I are both high W2 wage earners. There isn’t much you can do about that.
The tax code is written to benefit the ultra rich. Real estate, interest, corporate borrowing. There are a lot of ways to use money to make more money at low tax thresholds.
We have been building up money for...

re: How CIA and MI6 Created ISIS
Posted by mule74 on 4/19/24 at 8:57 am
Our record of meddling in international affairs is almost perfect. Perfect, in that we frick things up almost 100% of the time and leave every situation worse than it was when we found it.
This isn’t new. It stretches back to the beginning of the Cold War....

An IRA would likely you give you more/better investment options than your current 401k platform. It will also give you broader options to do things like invest in individual stocks.
I have 401ks from my two prior employers rolled into one IRA....

[quote]Do people even get turned down from LSU?[/quote]
As an LSU alum, this was my question as well. I thought it was pretty straightforward. I thought you either have the grades or you don’t. It’s not like a true subjective admissions process that you would see at elite schools.
Maybe it’s c...
re: Mushnick's sexist article about Kim Mulkey was an ugly joke
Posted by mule74 on 4/6/24 at 10:56 am
This whole episode is a symptom of how a binary political view has penetrated every facet of our culture.
When Mulkey was a “right wing racist” WaPo and the LA Times came after her. Now that she is an “American hating woke lefty” the NY Post is after her.
This is about consumer journalism th...

And once again high W2 earners get fricked.
That would be almost a $9k tax increase on someone making $300k and that person is already paying $90k in federal taxes.
