    1. Carbon tax will be involuntary for the poor, and tax deductible for the rich.

      Bill gates is already practicing getting carbon credits which is nothing more than carbon being deductible for the rich.

      The poor never get tax deductions. They either do not earn enough money to pay taxes, or they don’t own real estate which allows certain items to be deducted from taxes.

      However, if you are under 65 and on retirement, the SSA will gladly take your entire monthly retirement payment, whether you make money or not, for doing nothing more than working 45 hours on your business in the given month. Thus, the poor will pay a hefty tax for trying to be self employed.

      Don’t you just love this war against the poor?

  1. Money is not meant to control people rather it is meant to be put to work producing more money for you. You cannot build wealth without putting money in its rightful place.

    1. People don’t understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments don’t match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.

    2. Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.

    3. Having an investment advisor is the best way to go about the stock market right now. I was going solo, but it wasn’t working. I’ve been in touch with an advisor for a while now, and just last year, I made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.

    4. Finding yourself a good broker is as same as finding a good wife, which you go less stress, you get just enough with so much little effort at things
