J D Vance Trump VP pick

So…reports indicate Trump wanted ND Gov. last minute huddle w sons Duece and Eric convinced Trump to switch to JD. Apparently (like most other things) very little vetting or consultation bc you know Trump’s instincts are superior so he goes w JD. Also bc Elon and other Tech/Crypto bros promised $$$ (which now appears to be in question as to how much they really meant).

Now reports say buyers remorse has set in and Sr is furious (like ketchup throwing level) and is trying to figure out how to dump JD.

But this is all probably fake news like reports of his comments toward military and veterans.

I knew you would pull this card. I am against abortion after viability as long as the mother is not in danger. Pro life and pro-choice make a really complicated issue into a binary choice and that’s dumb.

Friendly reminder that pro life and anti abortion aren't the same thing. Pro life means all life. If someone says they are pro life, but support the death penalty then they aren't truly pro life. IMO very few people are pro life.

It is okay to be a little hypocritical. Just own it.

The extremes of each major party appear to be blind to their hypocrisy. Hence why Dems and GOP just talk over each other and ignore the stupid stuff their candidate says or does.

I, for the most part, am very libertarian. I lean for personal freedoms and social freedoms. However, like you, I believe to protect those freedoms require support of some non-pure libertarian items like police (ie law and order). That is hypocritical and inconsistent of me.

Why is it that every single time you ask for a link/source..I then send it, but you attack the source?

I am going to give you some grace to think about why your math requires some massaging. Do a little research. I know the poster above doesn’t understand it with his silly $2K amount, but I do think if you step-back and think about it you will understand the ARA’s estimates.
Hint: Think about what vehicles most retirement and many savings dollars go. And what occurs a lot inside those vehicles. 2nd Hint: especially with managed accounts

When someone "attacks the source" they say something like "I don't believe the NYT because they are too liberal" or "Nothing that comes from Fox is worth reading." I didn't even mention the ARA. I discussed the points they were making. I did not "attack the source."

I don't want your "Grace." Instead, why don't you quit being a condescending dickface and if you think something I said was wrong try to be a decent poster and say why just like I did for you. No, I will not waste a single moment trying to figure out what you are thinking because it is nearly always misguided or flat wrong.

One of the reasons that a transactions tax is being considered is to limit overtrading. Sine you ignored my comment about HFT look at how that has changed the markets. And, you really think they are just gonna keep on doing the same thing in different circumstances in actively managed retirement accounts? LOL. In addition, you know that there is zero chance that what was mentioned years ago would become law in the future without changes so you are arguing against fantasy or "clutching pearls" as the other Trumpie loves to say when we put out what your candidate wants.

Finally, I am an intermediate-term swing trader. A FTT would be horrible for me. But that is because of what I do not because I think that they are going to trash my 401k. That is silly fear-mongering.

See I guess you can say that they limit freedom but you could also say they are protecting freedom. Other than idiots like Beto no one is saying take their guns other than conservatives accusing Democrates of saying it. What we want is for our kids to live in less fear of being shot while at school and there are very good ways to do that without taking guns. Environmental policies are trying to save lives and limit our destruction of our environment. Hate speech is still legal.

I don't see these things as protecting freedom just protecting citizens. Not arguing against them. But, I will argue that total freedom is not a good thing.

You asked for the 3% reference and I provided. In your zeal to argue the answer provided..you simply just didn’t take the time to think about 401K vehicles, how they work, and why the ARA’s estimate..if anything may be low.
A FTT occurs on any stock trade. For a retirement account or traded savings account that could be 1) the initial contribution twice per month for a 401k; 2) that also include trades during turnover (ie managed 401k with stocks bought and sold); 3) includes cap gains and dividends reinvested (although I will exclude that in the below example for simplicity)

Example: A 25-year old starting a 401K with a $50k salary that grows 3% annually. Let’s estimate 8% market growth annually. This person contributes 15% of his salary to 401k with no company match. To keep it low, let’s say the 401K vehicle is a relatively non-active mutual fund with a low 5% turnover rate. When he is 65 years of age, his 401K is worth ~$3.15. However, if that same portfolio was subject to the proposed FTT, his account would be reduced by 3.3% and be $3.0M.

Retirement reduction of $100k+ in this example. And that is with an extremely low mutual fund turnover rate (not someone with a large amount of trades within their 401K) and not including trades for capital gains and dividend reinvestments.

It's such a worthless, unnecessary issue to bring up since people can take tax deductions for having kids. Probably, many parents though, would like more help from the government in raising their kids as costly as it is. But Republicans are well known for being against helping kids once they are born because doing so would be too Marxist, Socialist or Commie.
