Loading ...Why do they act like a third world country? I just got a message from a group I’ve donated to for Christians and Jews but never seen the money going to the Christians so no mass especially after this. Only a separate establishment group a little at a time a month for children and adolescents.
They are texting people asking for donations for food boxes for Israel , not starving Palestinian families and their children. I think we have a few of there backwards people in Congress too.
I remembered something after I wrote that. Back in the 1980 s I was talking to a person who worked in the doctors office of one of the doctors I worked with. With his office alone not counting in hospital work thank goodness for him after overhead and regs he was making less than I was as a nurse. I couldn’t believe it and in that depressed area I left the pay was barely enough to get by. Corporates for profits aided by things like Obama care have forced a lot of doctors into retirement without the benefit of the ideal amount of money they needed for it because the government, regs and taxes then the morons inflation chipped away at it. All down by the good for nothing’s. Now this corporate for profit for themselves pushing them into employees positions in corporate offices instead of independent and are slave drivers towards them burning them out with dollar signs in their eyes of quantity vs quality and doctor appts get farther and farther out.
Your raising wages based on inflation from a corrupt government. Imo that’s just being subordinate to idiots. For one aside from a natural disaster and inflation not a made up have you ever had a small business or talked to a honest one? I don’t think these people who scammed their way in politics have or can’t even manage a check book. Just let the economy fix it. Do you have someone now your lawn? Do you pay him what you think minimum wage should be or what you could afford but no less than minimum wage.
As you post 3% regular rate from 45-65. Remember that is “taxable income” things like property taxes, loan interest – including credit card – up until the 90’s, were deductible. Most people paid 3% – certainly the type of people you talk about.
The socialist countries like Europe pay ridiculous amounts of taxes, and on top of that pay a VAT taxes, I don’t know how good their healthcare is, probably varies. They do support their corporations as you say, Airbus comes to mind.
I agree with you about making our own stuff, why Trump put large tariff’s in place, but also farming, enough with these corporate farms that buy land and produce nothing. The big tech companies are essentially favored cronies of the Gov’t. as do multi-nationals. We need small businesses and competition. Tariff’s help with that. Oil of course, but the real killer is regulation and the gov’t. entities that do the regulating. They are worthless cogs in the wheel. Gov’t. is worthless and bloated and corrupt.
Gov’t. has no competition and everything they touch goes to crap. We need competition, fair competition.
No I do NOT think we should pay more taxes, most of us can’t even afford to pay taxes. What we need is an expanding US economy. What I was implying is that our entire country and all its domestic businesses needs ZERO competition from foreign socialist nations, which support their domestic businesses,
re citizens get free medical, free college, unlimited sick days, questionable currency values etc. Our citizens get none of that. If we were avoiding the exporting of our production jobs, we would be back to the 50s and 60s prosperity. I don’t know where you found 3% income taxes back then. I remember hearing about very high taxes that were very affordable with higher profits/wages etc.
| 1945–1963 | 3% | 91% |
| 1964 | 3% | 77% |
| 1965–1981 | 70% | 70% |
| 1982–1986 | 50% | 50% |
I also think all combat veterans should be totally tax exempt for life.
@Buygold you are 100% right about how you described these days. re your “endless wars, fat military industrial contracts, corrupt, mismanaged projects that line the pockets of Gov’t. cronies have broken us. 90% of the gov’t jobs need to be eradicated, ridiculous regulation eliminated, and the innovation of private individuals let loose. That’s the country we had in that era, that’s why things were affordable.”
They are all symptoms of our leaders that gave away the store and joined the global commune.
The HUI would be up more except they are beating down GFI for no reason I can see. That’s a funny stock, the brokerages love it, but they had some production problems last quarter. It seems to have a mind of it’s own, I often see it up or down 3-4% in the premarket for no apparent reason.
WPM and AEM have been solid performers from the get go. Then you have NEM, GOLD, GFI and they are like an anchor and always seem to underperform.
When you said yesterday that we should pay more taxes, that puzzled me.
In the era that you often talk about, the entire reason women were able to stay home with their children and men were able to own a home and do those things is because federal taxes were 3%. There was no problem taking care of roads or infrastructure. Obviously, the purchasing power of the dollar is a main issue, but an expanding government and high taxes are a drag on the economy and innovation.
IMHO, the government is THE problem. The country didn’t run deficits in those days after WWII, lifeguards and firefighters didn’t have $300K a year pensions and the best benefits available. My sister-in-law was a 1st grade teacher, she pulls down a $90K pension now.
This in addition to endless wars, fat military industrial contracts, corrupt, mismanaged projects that line the pockets of Gov’t. cronies have broken us. 90% of the gov’t jobs need to be eradicated, ridiculous regulation eliminated, and the innovation of private individuals let loose. That’s the country we had in that era, that’s why things were affordable.
Unfortunately, this was a one-time beautiful country with a wonderful Constitution and freedom. It will never be seen again on this planet. These kids have no idea what they’re missing, we were so very lucky to have lived in those times. The elites have destroyed everything in this country for selfish, corrupt gain.
Right most young couples rented something first. To match my era the minimum wage today should be $40/hr. The $72/hr today would match further back, when my grandfather had 8 kids.
Thanks. The tweet explains what it is if you look at the replies.
Pretty darn important to test your ore before you build the mine!
I think only a very few would be buying houses with a minimum wage income.
To think that minimum wage should be raised to $72! I think we’ll just have to disagree.
I found this on science direct.com.
Hope it helps:

When my father came home from WW II, in 1945 he immediately bought a house in Amityville for $5,000. His wife and two kids lived with her parents. I think he was making .40 cents an hour as a machinist. They rented out a bedroom upstairs to help out.
When I exited high school in 1962 the minimum wage was $1.40/hr. Soon after I got a union job in a defense plant making $2.40/hr, I paid my father $25 a week, a lot of money back then.
In 1963 I bought a new ’63 Pontiac Tempest the Cousin Vinny car. Three year loan. But by 1965 I was laid off and I got married making $1.75/hr. I was renting a cottage for $68/mo. Maybe things were harder on the west coast?
America's Gold and Silver failed to adequately test Relief Canyon "ore" for preg-robbing material prior to putting the mine into production.

There even shooting at starving Palestinians trying to fish in the ocean and using our money and weapons to do it. https://youtube.com/shorts/e0NeUB2Bj_w?si=g5bVAO44MU_3_hlk
I know I’m preaching to the choir but man hasn’t evolved as much as they think they have. Less uninhabited most lands faced battles, either to aquire it or keep it. Our battle be either in a civil matter or the second amendment is to keep it.
Shares immediately puke yesterday’s gains, but at least stable now.
I don’t see how we can stop these psychopaths making us sick, preventing us from eating meat, and importing other countries criminals except at the end of a barrel of a gun. NY is an unbelievable cesspool of corruption and disgust.
They really are trying to kill us.
Average Person:
"They are not trying to track and limit meat consumption, that's never going to happen"
NYC Mayor:
"Thanks to our corporate partners like American Express for helping NYC to track and limit meat consumption"

Definitely a logical place for the dollar to pause in its’ descent.
Looks like we may need our buyer to show up and at least keep the scum at bay today.
Last week our weekly unemployment claims report was a big surprise and showed more job losses than expected. That was a catalyst for a pop. We’ll see how it turns out this week, they’ve ratcheted up the numbers. Course, whatever the numbers they put out will be fakery, so not sure why it matters other than the algo’s trade on headlines these days.
SM getting some follow thru though. Bitcoin surged bigly yesterday, went from $60K over the weekend to $66K yesterday. 10% in a few days. Someday maybe we’ll be so lucky.
Poll suggestion.
Will we see $2000 gold again within
6 months
1 year
10 years
20 years
Never
