Your tax refund could
create a $1 million tax-FREE retirement
With The Don and his
people under criminal investigation, what do you do with your refund? TrumpWorld
has given Wall Street the jitters so stock investors are going to have to
reassess their positions. Do like the best investor Warren Buffett does: Be fearful
when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. When
stocks fall, they are on sale and it is time to buy. Since we don’t know what
an individual stock will do in the future, we buy the whole market. Since a
market index fund can cost almost nothing, 0.05%, we do not waste our money on
a seller’s commission. Vanguard 500 Index has returned 14% a year recently, we
can use it. Since 1976 it has returned almost 11% a year. Our refunds can
create a $1 million tax-FREE retirement using a special IRS account.
Trump voters are
finding his budget unacceptable—want recall election of Trump adm.
Cutting the heating
subsidy in rural counties means some supporters
will have to move. Cutting miners retraining program means some supporters
will need to go back to hauling trash. Some supporters see the value in cutting
programs but not the ones that help their neighbors with legal
problems. They can’t afford a lawyer so Legal Aid helped them save their
home from a $14 tax forclosure. No more. Meals
on Wheels is an effective program because the meals the elderly need are
delivered by volunteers at no cost.
Around the country folks
at town halls are making the point that without the so-called “collapsing”
ObamaCare, they would probably be dead. But Obama’s
program is not collapsing. People who use
it are telling their real experience.
Congress and Trump
billionaires don’t use ObamaCare so they don’t know what they are taking away
from us. Even if you have an employer plan, we will lose help on disputed
claims, preventive screenings, and no cap on the cost of our care. 10
cities hit hardest from TrumpCare. Ryan and Trump have used the
“collapsing” argument to scare people who don’t know. They promise ACCESS to substandard coverage like we had
before Obama. The other “silent majority” seems to be activated and may give
Congress people pause before passage Thursday. TrumpCare bill provides the wealthy
1% with a $165
billion tax break. He just added $85
Billion slush fund for states and capital gains break retroactive to Jan 2017.
Cancellation
of popular programs like Wheels, Legal and ACA will do great harm and will
force Dems to get out the vote for the 2018 Congress Sweep.
Socialism for the
Rich is not helping Trump voters.
Prepare for
TrumpWorld: Use your Retirement Income Checklist
There are so many
unknowns in our futures that we must plan a FLEXIBLE financial future. We can
anticipate some expenses but generally, we must plan for a range of possible
futures. Trump says he will keep Social Security and Medicare but GOP says they
will cut benefits. He says he will rebuild America but his budget
says cut important spending like a heating subsidy. Instead he boosts
corporate subsidies. He cancels the rule requiring advisors to give us the best
advice. He cancels bank failure protections. He cuts clean air, water, and
social net. He wants more battleships and nukes but says no more costly wars
against terrorists. It is hard
to know what he will do.
How will you cope with TrumpWorld?
For instance, if you stay invested
in some stock mutual funds to overcome inflation, how can you avoid a prolonged
flat market? If you count on fixed income like bonds or annuities, what happens
if inflation roars back?
Today, retirees need
to plan for 30 years AFTER working. Your need two budgets—one for now and one
for the survivor.

https://www.creditkarma.com/ needs
your views to obtain dollars from sellers of financial services and they give
you software to file federal and state taxes at no cost. If you need to
file a simple return, this is the cheapest way. Usually
simple means you have W-2 income and few deductions. The IRS has a topic look
up so you can find the answer to your question easier than waiting on the
telephone for an operator to answer: https://taxmap.ntis.gov/taxmap/. Also,
you can do your federal online FREE using commercial sites through the IRS https://www.irs.gov/uac/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free.
These sites charge for a state return. You can also use a local AARP tax aide
office: http://www.aarp.org/money/taxes/aarp_taxaide/ AARP
does not discriminate by age or income so they can usually take care of most
people. Best tip: deduction for IRA contributions and tax credit up to $2,000
subtracted from tax you owe. Double Your Pleasure.

How can you leave
your brokerage advisor for a better deal?
I help people do
their taxes as an AARP tax aide. Some have brokerage accounts or mutual funds
that are not giving them the returns they want. They can’t tell me what their
advisor has put in their account when I try to determine short or long-term
securities. They look like they never even asked what they own. I cannot
discuss their assets or situation since I am a volunteer with AARP. However, I
point out that many investors are going to Vanguard because of the low-cost
funds they offer—both index and managed. Retirees do not have enough time to
weather a market storm of minus 25%. Typically, advisors move their clients
into bank-like securities—GICs, Stable Value, Cash equivalents—when they stop
working. But clients have 30 to 40 years ahead and need growth and income.
Actually some have huge bank savings producing $400 to $800 in taxable interest
every year. I can’t suggest that they buy a balanced fund like Vanguard’s Wellesley
Income so they can earn 8-9% for their future retirement needs. I use this fund
to provide my own RMDs since our IRA distributions are considered ordinary
income anyway. We are paying the taxes we owe and converting them to tax-free
Roth assets.

The Don cannot stop
telling LIES—LIES are catching up so no deal on health
What do Trump voters
think about his lies?
IRS says there is no reason he cannot release his taxes. The
Don says voters don’t care yet 74% say he should release his tax returns.
His voters wanted affordable health insurance coverage NOT just access to substandard coverage. They
don’t want to file bankruptcy because of a hospital stay. His voters wanted to
shake up the system but not end miners training, clean air and water, Meals on
Wheels, child lunch program and Big Bird. Why aren’t voters upset that Trump
did not cut the $ billions of corporate subsidies and lobbyists instead of
programs for the poor? And what about
drug prices he promised to cut? Why hasn’t he negotiated lower health care
costs? Do voters get a laugh when he accuses the former president and our
allies of tapping his phone? Do his supporters think FBI lies when “no support”
for Trump’s claim of wiretap? Do his voters still think Obama is not an
American after Trump kept saying it for 5 years? Do voters like his unseemly
deference to the dictator Putin? Are they OK with Putin invading Ukraine and Eastern Europe ? Why do many of his
top people seem to be tied to Russian oligarchs? What does Putin have on
Trump that causes this softness?
Do voters believe
the crazy entertainers that permeate the
conservative radio, TV and blogs like Rush, Fox, Levin, Breitbart, Info, etc
that tell Trump what to think?
“I can’t be doing so
badly, because I’m president, and you’re not.”
Are voters scared
that his naiveté,
lack of judgment and gullibility to B.S. will start WWIII with the
N. Koreans and China ?
“Facts are stubborn
things,” John Adams said in 1770.
*****************
We have entered
the Twilight Zone:
"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known
to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and timeless as infinity. It is the
middle ground between light and shadow, between
science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears
and the summit of his knowledge. It is an area which we call the Twilight
Zone" where “alternative
facts” and illusions of conspiracies are lived out. Lies are considered true.
Truth is what the loudest voice says it is over and over.

Remember, Don Trump
is still a contractor from Queens NY,
just
richer than most. As a promoter, his income is from lending
his wealth “brand” to other’s buildings and golf. Secret Service needs extra
$60 million in taxes to cover sons to travel to promote Trump properties
worldwide.
Bannon called himself a “Leninist”
who wanted to “bring

Putin got GOP party plank to drop sanctions on Ukraine

GOP cuts programs of

power to oppose cuts. Cowardly
The Don (Putin) does not like
diplomacy, aid to poor, US
19 Agencies you may use being cut
from American society: The Don does not like Meals on Wheels, Sesame St. NPR
radio, Arts, Miners retraining, 62 in all for $343 billion
What GOP does NOT cut:
No cuts to subsidies to Boeing,
GE, Intel, Nike, Shell, Fiat, GM, Ford,
hundreds more.
No cuts to govt cost overruns of $ trillions
each year. And Congressperson subsidies.
Wealthy 1% will
receive a $165
billion tax break, Seniors
go back to food stamps.

about Russian influence among lieutenants. Spicer claims Trump never asked

When everyone has guns; your
chance of being killed goes up. Police don’t know who
to shoot. They assume everyone has one and shoot

guns in the classroom. Kid lesson! Since 2015, police have killed
86 people with realistic looking FAKE guns--suicide?
