What with general inflation and regional differences in the cost of living, being a millionaire today would not be anything like it used to be, even fifty years ago. In fact, inflation does not only steal the value of the money we have, it gets us taxed at a higher rate than was intended by some of these laws as everyone, even the very poor, end up having what looks like large amounts of money but is really not all that valuable. I am glad you agree about repealing some of these taxes.Aya Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339668413030878426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069432629974606542.post-84333843733710664202015-04-18T19:24:12.507-07:002015-04-18T19:24:12.507-07:00In California being a millionaire would not even t...In California being a millionaire would not even take you that far since a lot of houses probably go for that amount. Also, I know a lot of people who went to medical school or law school, and end up about a quarter million in debt. So at one time a million dollars was a lot of money, but not really today. As time goes by I feel people like you are right about repealing some of these taxes, especially since how are the taxes being spent anyway? A lot of times the money does not go to what it was intended for. It would probably make life easier if we all had less taxes.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147781152448695481noreply@blogger.com
