President Biden's tax plan is certainty an interesting one. President Biden is working very hard to create
a plan for those that are in need but, to no surprise there is a price to pay for this for all of us not just
the rich. From my understanding every ones taxes will be raised with the majority of the tax increases
going to the rich. So taxes for most of us will increase form 21% to 28% which is not that bad of a deal
and their will be more tax credits for families as well. All of this sounds absolutely amazing, however
I took time to think about the big picture and I believe this may push America closer to a market crash
due to over inflation of prices. First lets talk about inflation. The definition of inflation is a sustained
increase to prices within a period of time. Now as many of us are familiar with this pandemic a lot of
people lost jobs.
Stimulus checks to help the economy were given to hold as many jobs as possible and help people pay
their bills. Very important stuff and unfortunately we needed it! Now here is something to consider,
even thought that needed to be done America is still trillions of dollars in debt to China so where did
this money come from? I thought they may have printed more money, but through further research it
seems the money is borrowed from the federal reserve which creates inflation. Now for those shopping
for groceries or work in Walmart I am sure you noticed how much higher the price of groceries have
been and that was just from inflation once. Biden's tax plan to raise taxes on investments, social
security and wages for individuals that make $400,000 or more. Now a lot of you are probably saying:
I do not make tat much why should I care? Well comment section glad that you asked!
Normally when things like minimum wage are increased for companies and taxes are too, companies
tend to legally and illegally push back. This is usually done by sending a lot of money to an offshore
bank account so that the reported amount made for the year is lower and reduces the taxes they
pay. That is the first move, the second business will raise prices a second time as well as cut workers
hours. Any one have that happen to them this pandemic by any chance?
This will allow companies to keep their bottom line while still shorting hard workers who are
struggling. This push back will now force the government to either give more stimulus borrowing from
the federal reserve again or have banks make it cheaper to borrow loans. Either route creates a band-aid
over a cut but does not completely solve the problem which will create? You guessed it, more
inflation!!!
Some of you are probably thinking what exactly does over inflation cause? The answer is lower
value of the American dollar. If you do not believe this try researching the history of why America
consumes things now and no longer produces. You will learn that we tend to borrow from
underdeveloped countries out of god faith in the value of our dollar. Right now they allow us to borrow
their money because our dollar haves value! If it keeps losing value and people no longer let us borrow
then what will happen? China is starting to understand this and they are eventually going to want their
money back that we owe them! If you take a look at New York city for example, most of the apartment
complexes in Queens, and Manhattan are owned by china. Now we all played monopoly as a kid so we
should know, if you owe someone money and can't pay what do they take? Property, and they are little
by little buying ours. If this keeps up the American dollar will not be wanted or valued by a lot of other
countries and the Chinese yuan will be desired forcing a change to our current system and possibly
way of life. This is also why crypto currencies are becoming more popular. Trades with common
people with out government influence and a digital value that someday the world can share and adapt
to. No one knows what the future may hold but history does repeat itself and signs of a crash are
happening. Be prepared my friends and work out a game plan for you and your families. I for one have
cyrpto currency and a few plays that will help me in the event of a possible crash.
(this is not financial advice, only invest what you can afford to lose.)
financial institutions are great plays in my opinion as well since banks are federally insured.
This means that if the economy crashes the government will bail them out. This is why most financial
institutions are F. D. I. C insured. Investing in life insurance would be a safe move too. Some life
insurance policies even allow you to borrow a percentage of the money from your policy in emergency
situations. Definitely a topic for another day. Stay tuned for a post on life insurance and why we all
should have some!
