Sanders / Duckworth would probably be the most inspiring ticket in a while. Let's bring disability issues front and center.
Yeah, this is my choice too. She would be great.Sanders / Duckworth would probably be the most inspiring ticket in a while. Let's bring disability issues front and center.
Yeah, when the story broke I remembered the name from Mu Alpha Theta competitions in high school.Fact: Stoneman Douglas' (the Parkland school) math program has one of the best competitive math teams in the nation, and has had so for decades.
also fact: I wanted to throw my graphic calculator on my desk at my computer screen reading that tweet.

I guess you can do this 10 before your 401k or IRA to retain that availability.
It wouldn't be deficit neutral. As you're aware, those on higher incomes who are likely already investing in the market will be able to take full advantage of this tax shelter, which means they'll end up paying less taxes than they do now. It's also regressive, in that those on lower incomes won't be able to use it much or at all.
Means we might only lose by 5 or 6.
I've been saying Duckworth would be a great VP for a while.Sanders / Duckworth would probably be the most inspiring ticket in a while. Let's bring disability issues front and center.
Which would (a) net us about three House seats in TX and (b) imply a 3-4 point nationwide swing left from 2016 - more than enough to beat Trump.
Yes
Not a dad, but hot.
We don't know yet what sort of withdrawal restrictions this would have, and I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the GOP to impose taxes on higher earners for any reason. The main motivation for this plan is not to help the middle class and certainly not those near min wage, its goal is to help win the election and make the rich richer (including Trump himself). The timing of it is all the evidence needed, plus he tried something similar in the midterms, promising middle class tax cuts around that time which never materialized.You make it deficit neutral by raising taxes on other activities of high-income earners/companies that serve high-end owners that aren't really all that positive to our economy, such as fin transaction taxes to go after arbitrage seekers/fintech leeches and short-term capital gains taxes to discourage fast return on investments vs. actual research and development and longer-term capital investment.
Lower incomes right now don't have great access to 401ks either, and don't benefit all that much from pre-tax savings (where as wealth savers benefit a LOT from hiding income by maxing out their 401ks). Shifting some of the 401k cap to something like this would be another way to pay for this in a way that mostly impacts higher earners.
Please don't discount how messy it is to pull money out of a 401k or IRA and how often people actually have to do it. I'm not saying that this idea is perfect, and any GOP-driven version of it will probably have some ridiculous giveaways and try to pay for it with kids' lunch money. But if you look back at the last 30 years the current bank-provided savings mechanism have abysmal returns, and encouraging long-term savings through tax advntages into assets with better returns over the long haul is probably a good idea for savings above and beyond emergency funds or your month to month checking account.
I mean, he may as well be a twink if we're going to be comparing ages here.
Only 32% of americans are actually saving in 401ks and the average contributions are pathetically low. Trump's fans are barely getting any of these benefits.Real question:
How many people actually have extra money to put into 401ks?
I mean she got the most votes from the NYT editorial board and they denied her a sole endorsement. I know they aren't part of the party establishment but they're one of the key liberal institutions and they absolutely failed to place their bets correctly.
Damn Formt.

Moderate Dems "leaders": Sanders would be a disaster in the GE!
Moderate Dem voters: I agree (even if I might like Sanders as a person)! So who should we vote for?

Dual endorsement almost seems like a sabotage of both of the candidates you're endorsing, tbh.

I keep seeing this idea floating around here too when there's a mountain of data showing Sanders beating Trump and winning independents by the widest margins of any other candidate.

But sure, Bernie is a non-starter.
dual endorsement is dumb.
I wonder if it would be less dumb if it was like "progressive lane endorsement x, centrist lane y"
This is the right answer but they're too stupid to realize this.If it was just "not Bernie" that moderate people wanted, the smart play would be to rally behind Warren because she can draw from his pool of support by being the more "reasonable/pragmatic" progressive candidate. Going as far right as possible with Bloomberg and such is not going to weaken him in any significant way.

I'd like to get things done with Tom at the helm
