30 billion in annual tax revenue?

Uhh…

Even 30 million would be massive.

Ohly twice in my life. After Katrina I said I never wanted to smell that again.

Then I did a second time helping gut houses after the BR floods.

Let's say I'm projected to be in the 24% federal bracket during my 60's and 70's. Conventional wisdom says don't convert at 24% if you're going to be in the 24% bracket in the future. The problem is that my traditional 401k will cause me to take RMDs at 75. Those RMDs calculate out to be enough to push me into the 32% bracket quickly.


There is another part of this.

What if everyone’s rates go up because the Feds raise rates?

What if 24 goes back to 28… or maybe 31?

No one has a crystal ball of course. But there is risk in converting as well as risk in not converting…

I get it.

1) it was preseason. Curious what they would do if regular season

2) LHSAA seems like they have had enough of these issues.

Friday’s second game of the KIPP Jamboree between Kennedy and Warren Easton at Tad Gormley Stadium was stopped with 1 minute, 43 seconds remaining in the first half after several fights took place in the stands.


quote:

Officials were meeting with both coaches after a third fight involving many spectators broke out. When a fourth one ensued, the officials ended the game. “It was a safety issue,” said Kennedy coach Lynarise Elpheage said. “(The officials) had told us they were going to end the game if another fight occurred. As they were talking to us, another fight broke out.” Said Easton coach Jerry Phillips: “(The officials) told us the (Orleans Parish) Sheriffs Office has control, but one more fight and they had to stop it.

There's no way you believe that. Was it the first shoe to drop? Sure. Would any of what we've seen not happened if the NCAA had "let players get a few bucks from a basketball video game". Of course not. That's absurd.


Well, it started the antitrust train,

Would something else have started it? Maybe. But it did not for a century. Because everyone believed the NCAA was not guilty of antitrust laws with respect to student athletes.

NCAA rolling out the 5 to play 5 rule before the season began would have had all sorts of people suing.


5 for 5 cane about because of other issues like redshirts and JUCO

Does any of that happen if the lack of antitrust exemption isn’t a huge issue?
