It is apparent to any American who pays attention that the upper class in the united states makes money hand over fist and yet working class retirees are expected to survive on a social security check of usually 1200 to 1600 dollars a month, that is a very TWISTED outcome! The huge majority of working class families simply can't save for retirement on their own because they live paycheck to paycheck. Stock Market Trades are " UNEARNED INCOME" AND SHOULD BE TAXED TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD A BIT. SOCIAL SECURITY SHOULD PAY RETIREES ENOUGH TO BRING THEIR TOTAL INCOME UP TO THE MEDIAN WAGE IN THE COUNTRY.
Please support our retired working class seniors by signing on to support this 25% tax on stock market trades.
