So, my estate could get stuck for unrealized capital gains at my death? Outrageous! That money'd be mine, if any of it actually existed! Why should I be robbed on top of being dead? /s

I hear Beyond Wealthy is pretty close to the real thing.

Re: FICA, everyone who earns income via a paycheck has to pay 6.2% towards Social Security, up to a max on $142,800 of taxable wages. Also 1.45% towards Medicare, with no limit. Employers have to pay an equal amount.

OTOH, low-income earners may qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit, which essentially provides a rebate on federal income taxes.

Of course, note that the FICA taxes above apply only to EARNED income (that earned from an actual job), and not things like interest income or capital gains.

I had to buy several new suits for a 2-week trial back in 2019. It was frustrating, but (particularly as a woman) I didn’t think I could get away with wearing the same thing for 2 weeks straight.

I was already walking a lot, but you're right, there were fewer off days. And more stairs; work is single-story, home office is downstairs while the kitchen and coffee pot and bathroom are upstairs.

the dems better come out with an attack ad stating the GOP prefers to defend rich dickheads instead of helping out every day Americans

You can’t make $$$$ off of healthy people! How can I sell you something if I can’t convince you how sick you are first? Reported for obvious communist Marxist socialist and violently anti john birch society tendencies.
