    The types of Judaism

    Wow, this is the first time I've been here in a long time. Thanks for posting my name, Rabbio. I got an alert in my email. Is it still the same old, same old here?

    401k millionaires

    I agree with most of your article. But the article missed two major things. First most investments don't compound daily, so that assumption is too aggressive. Second, the effect of investment fees were ignored. Both of these would decrease the ending balance.

    401k millionaires

    Actually, the surveys show 94% of US millionaires are first generation millionaires. Meaning they didn't inherit it, they earned it. While there is some luck in your specific investment choices, it's far more sacrifice, planning, and dedication.

    401k millionaires

    We give a mix of names and numbers to things. For example, we use IRA instead of (section) 408.

    401k millionaires

    It's not easy, it requires sacrifice, budgeting, and hard work. But it is do-able by almost anyone.

    401k millionaires

    Wrong! Try listening to Dave Ramsey for a while to learn differently.

    401k millionaires

    Paying reasonable taxes are fine. It's when people complain that millionaires aren't paying their fair share that is silly. When pressed for what a "fair share" is, that I've heard people say most of it should be taken. People shouldn't be punished for managing their finances well.

    401k millionaires

    Actually, one can be wealthy with steady savings with even low pay. It requires living below your means and consistently investing the excess. Then even those emergencies can be handled without going into debt.

    Ah, along the lines of that idiotic Obama statement "you didn't build that"?

    What's the problem

    You mentioned that our perception of sexuality is changing from the past. When, in the past, was it not sexual to massage a woman's breasts?

    401k millionaires

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/americans-with-1-million-saved-sees-a-big-jump/ The article shows that anyone can be a millionaire all on their own. Government assistance is not needed, indeed government assistance typically keeps people in poverty. These 401k millionaires have saved for over 30...

    2018 Trump tax laws

    All those programs are subject to government inefficiency and bloating.

    2018 Trump tax laws

    It's sort of an oxymoron. By definition, anything that government does, does not function properly.

    2018 Trump tax laws

    I don't understand. You want people to keep more of their own money as long as they don't keep it?

    How We Can Rid Our World Of Evil

    Sorry, I misunderstood your post then. Yes, removal of sex organs for those that are convicted of a rape. Child molesters and violent offenders are different crimes which would require different punishments.

    Is posting in opposition to homosexuality, same sex marriage, abortion allowed?

    It's allowed on this site. But if you do it on a college campus, you'll be banned and lynched.

    2018 Trump tax laws

    There are some interesting components to this year's US federal income tax law. I kept it simple and didn't include every provision, nor full details. Comparison of 2017 to 2018, Married filing Joint brackets: 2017: 1st bracket: Up to $18,650 10% ________ 2018: Up to 19,050 10% 2017: 2nd...

    How We Can Rid Our World Of Evil

    Well rape is a fluid term. Is it only penetration or can it be harassment, sexual battery, or any variances? There is also the problem of false convictions. Anyways, this quarantine solution was proposed by you, not me. What would you do about these? Do all sex crime convictions earn the same...

    How We Can Rid Our World Of Evil

    While it's difficult to state conclusively about the number of male victims vs. female victims, due to the increased stigma against male victims and the non-recognition of the issue, the material I looked at agrees with you. I found that the hypothesized male victims are anywhere from 5% to 30%...

    Israeli forces kill dozens of Palestinians in Gaza 'massacre'

    1) When palestinian snipers shoot at Israelis while using their own children as shields, should the Israelis allow the snipers to continue their murderous activities without military response? https://nypost.com/2015/05/02/un-report-outlines-how-hamas-used-kids-as-human-shields/ 2) Please tell...
