My only opposition to it, as it is with most tax proposals, is simply that I don't trust the government to use the money properly. In a vacuum, taxes are for the common good and get spent wisely and efficiently. However, the vacuum doesn't exist in a real life application.
This is my point.. the gov wouldn’t even have the chance to use it badly because it would go directly into these accts

I disagree with most taxes but I had this idea..
The trump Invest America accounts that go to newborn kids seeded with $1000 from the gov and parents and others can put $$ in these accts and they’re pegged to the market tax free.
The real idea behind this was to give kids an incentive to appreciate capitalism and understand the miracle of compound investing. I think it could really stem the tide on the youth believing in socialism.
But I also had this idea that a 1% wealth tax for those worth over a billion. Billionaires have 6.72 trillion in net worth. If we gave that 1% tax on billionaires to all children in the US (73 million) that would be $919 per kid per year. Which would be in addition to the original $1000 from the gov and any $ added by companies or parents etc,
The interesting thing is this a direct transfer of wealth to young American kids to help them get a start, costs the government nothing, and isn’t mired in corruption or non profit type excessive expenses. In this era of hyper wealthy and a growing wealth gap,, I think this makes some sense.

QB: we have 2 cheap rookies for a few years where our total 3.5 mil and a practice squad guy
RB: Alvin’s contract and time with the Saints maybe lasts one more year and id imagine it’s restructured, Devin Neal and Kendre Miller combine for 2.8 mil. I’d love to see us draft a RB to replace Alvin.
WR: Olave likely gets extended but beyond him Vele is looking good and cheap, we traded for Jalynn Polk so I imagine they believe in him. Together Vele and Polk combine for only 2.7 mil. I assume we target a WR early in draft as well.
TE: Only Juwan is on contract at 13.3 mil. I assume we try to keep Stoll or Moreau for cheap and look to draft a TE too. Juwan is getting kind of expensive and has been hit or miss production wise.
OT: Banks and Fuaga seem to be good, we desperately need a legit backup tho.
G: Ruiz is paid too much and we need a LG bad. Radunz needs to be brought back as he’s been fairly solid,
C McCoy’s injuries are an issue, Fortner needs to be a priority to return as he’s been really good.
DE: Granderson and Young combine for 38.5 mil next year which is way too much. We need to draft a DE, I assume Cam retires and maybe restructure Granderson.
DT: Breese Sheppard and Godchaux combine for 17 mil with Broughton at 1 mil. Godchaux been a bust, ideally we find a real run stuffer in draft.
LB: Demario says he wants to play and he’s fairly cheap. Werner probably traded and Stutsman is on rookie deal.
CB: Big question here is what we do w Alontae but otherwise we have cheap options with Riley, KoolAid and Yiadom, They’ve played well but could always see them try to draft someone to replace Alontae,
S: Justin Reid has good deal but Sanker and Howden combine for only 2.5 mil. I’d love to see us draft Caleb Downs if we win a few more games.
All this to say, we have some expensive contracts coming off the books and we have some young players on cheap deals that seem to be hits that will really give us a lot of flexibility.. especially QB and WR. Ideally another good draft and a few FA pickups and this roster can win the South.

re: Caleb Downs(S) may be best pick; This win put u out of reach per OSU DE, No WR available

Reese or Downs would be awesome

This past years draft could be cornerstone for the future. If we can have another good draft and pick up a pass rusher, run stuffing DT, a guard, a WR and a late rd rb & safety I’d be thrilled.

I didn't love the pick and didn't think he'd do much as an NFL player (still may not). But watching him in the preseason the one that stood out was his accuracy. There were mistakes. But when he threw the ball he was rarely off target. Compare that to Rattler who could on one throw could drill it into a tight window, the next pass, throw it at the feet of a wide open WRs, the next throw completed it, albeit it behind a WR. Shough delivers a very catchable pass
Rattler vs Shough is interesting because accuracy is clearly Rattlers biggest hurdle but he handles pressure really well and has great feet.
Shough during college and preseason I’d argue his biggest issue was decision making under pressure but he has a strong and accurate arm when comfortable. Now, yesterday he handled pressure great… so maybe he’s developing and getting better.

A 2027 6th
Werner should be priority to trade
Posted by Lsujacket66 on 10/21/25 at 7:57 am
If we could get a 5th j think that would be good, dump his contract and opens up a spot for Stutsman to get more playing time.
The good takeaways
Posted by Lsujacket66 on 10/20/25 at 5:38 am
More good reps from Riley and our young secondary.
Stutsman looked pretty solid and get more reps.
Breese continues to be a terror,
Rattler bounced back after playing horrible and put together some good drives.
Olave remembered he’s good.
Chase Young is the most disruptive non sack getter ever,

I think this team takes a big leap next year. A bunch of close games so far, minus the Seattle blowout. With another solid draft we will be sitting in a good place. I hope the Saints get Mansoor Delane in the draft to improve that secondary.
Yah we have some solid young corners but none are lockdown corners.., though I’m not sure there really is such a thing as lockdown corners anymore.

I thought the OL played really well, even Ruiz had a solid game,
Rattler really navigates the pocket well, if he can get a little better footwork to improve his accuracy I think he’s a legit franchise QB.
The difference in the game was so obviously our skill players not making plays (Olave Juwuan)
Breese is becoming elite. His hands are so violent he can win so quick.. and his run defense has improved so much.
Young was really solid, applied a lot of pressure. Granderson was solid.. Maye really escaped a lot of pressures
We need a young stud LB
We obviously had some busts in the secondary but I’m still pretty high on that young core and hope to see Riley get more reps
If you add an elite WR, an impact DT, another good DE, and another young DB… this is a good team

If you didn’t enjoy today then you’re just not a football fan. We played hard, had chances to win, our young QB looked great, young talent is getting good reps, oh and we lost which helps our future
re: QB off the table, #4 pick…
Posted by Lsujacket66 on 10/10/25 at 2:31 am to goatmilker
Looking at our roster and who we have coming back..
QB Rattler has earned a long look and have Shough,.. we aren’t a qb away from winning so pass on QB
WR definite need; just need to determine value
RB: mid round pick maybe
TE mostly set here, maybe mid to late rd
OL mostly set here w young talent, need a guard in 3rd or 4th
DE: Granderson has been great, Young hurt, need a young stud here and as of now I’d take Bain if he’s available
DT: Breese is really developing, but we need a run stuffer to pair him with, I’d love a high pick or free agent
LB: need to find Demario’s replacement
S: Sanker is a stud, Howden is good, if Caleb Downs is available and Bain is gone, I’d consider taking him
CB: I like our young guys here

Looking at the draft and our roster going forward
1st Rd: We desperately need an elite DL, that can be DE or DT. Breese has been good but hes bad vs the run. Granderson has been good, Young hurt, and need to replace Cam.
I don’t think we go QB because we simply aren’t a QB away from winning and I don’t see an elite QB in college right now.
2nd rd: WR if we go DL in the first. I also think depending on who’s available you go defensive difference maker at LB to replace Demario or Corner. Guard could be tempting but I think Ruiz gets another year due to his bad contract.
3rd: Defensive starter at LB or DB ideally,
Ideally Penning works out at guard. We’ve got Kamara and Olave for one more year. We spent some draft capital on Vele and Polk so need them to step up at WR. We need to replace Demario and Cam both positional and leaders.
