You ought to worry about the number of taxpayers leaving your city and your state.

And I'd much rather that Corporations do the same as well. Which "WE" in the Public Sector know that they would NEVER do!

To take it a step further. The Stock Market (Which MANY are currently "whining" about) would collapse tomorrow if the "evil" Govt stopped subsidizing it.
That 401k plan of yours goes bellyup the second the Govt stops funding it with the hard earned money of American taxpayers. Ironically no one ever quite seems to "know" or ever "admit" this.

Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

I’d agree that people don’t know that the government funds 401k plans. Mostly because it’s nonsense, but I suppose it’s technically correct to say people don’t know it.

That said, what do you think would happen to your pension plans if the stock market collapsed? Your guy is whining that Vallas didn’t use enough taxpayer money to invest in the market on your behalf. What happens to the suddenly concerning funded radio if the numerator shrinks that much more?

The problem with DB pensions is the financial strain on the sponsors. All three major sponsor groups have experienced problems- corporate plans, Union multi employer plans, and government plans. They are not sustainable.

You're sort of clueless so let me say this. The stock market has been funded by the Gov't for decades. When it collapses or is about to collapse the Gov't "primes the pump" as a way of jumpstarting it. Which is nothing more than a subsidy. 401k plans are heavily tied to the stock market. Which means they are tied to the Govt. There is nothing "nonsensical" about it unless you are clueless to begin with.

And that doesn't even mention the "lucrative" tax breaks or "deferments" which they enjoy as well as part of the plan. Money that should be taxed as income the moment it is "earned" but is not thus reducing the tax liabilities of those that participate in the plan.

Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

I don’t know what you think ‘funded’ means. You seem to confuse monetary policy with funding.

Your second graph is a gripe about tax policy, but seems to hint at the fact that 401k holders fund their retirement plans with earned income. Pension beneficiaries don’t.

You’re still not saying anything that has anything to do with your point.

Governments' Influence on Markets
By MARY HALL Updated October 29, 2022
Free markets are often conceptualized as having little to no interference from the government. However, in reality governments do step in to stabilize markets, regulate transactions, provide institutional frameworks, and enforce rules around contract law and property rights. Governments can also intervene when markets fail in the form of bailouts and other emergency measures.

In this article, we will look at how the government affects the markets and influences business in ways that often have unexpected consequences.

Governments have the capacity to make broad changes to monetary and fiscal policy, including raising or lowering interest rates, which has a huge impact on business.
They can boost the currency, which temporarily lifts corporate profits and share prices, but ultimately lowers values and spikes interest rates.
Governments can intervene when companies or entire segments of the economy are failing, or threatening to undermine the whole economic system, by providing bailouts.
Governments can create subsidies, taxing the public and giving the money to an industry, or tariffs, adding taxes to foreign products to lift prices and make domestic products more appealing.
Higher taxes, fees, and greater regulations can stymie businesses or entire industries.

There’s one sentence in my post and it’s not a question.

Technically I was drunk (big surprise) and asked her if she liked a tongue up her ass.

I’m not even sure what you want disproved. Individuals put money in their 401ks (i.e., they fund them) and that money grows. When money is withdrawn, they pay taxes. The government does not put money into someone’s account.

I’m sure you can find an investopedia article to mansplain defined contribution retirement plans.

So your argument is that bailouts have happened, therefore the government is funding individuals’ 401k plans? And you think this is a good argument?

How does quantitative easing impact financial markets?
Quantitative easing impacts financial markets because it sends a signal to market participants that central banks are actively buying assets and providing liquidity. It gives investors and traders some security during periods of financial crisis that could otherwise create panic.

Let’s take a look at how quantitative easing impacts two of the most popular financial markets: stocks and forex.

Quantitative easing and stock market performance
Quantitative easing leads to lower interest rates, which typically results in improved share price performance as risk-on assets become more appealing than saving in a bank.

The lower interest rates also mean that companies can borrow at lower costs, which creates the perfect environment to borrow money to expand the business. The positive sentiment towards companies can attract inflows of short-term financial capital, from both domestic and foreign investors.

However, quantitative easing can cause asset bubbles as a result of the euphoria and confidence created in financial markets. And unfortunately, bubbles can bust, so it’s vital to have suitable risk management measures in place.

You're Asking Questions again. "Quantitative Easing" is all about "Govt Intervention into Private Markets". Part of the reason that the Govt does this is to increase the value of the stock market. "Quantitative Easing" is nothing more that a different name for "SUBSIDY".

What does that have to do with government funding a 401k?

Government does things that impacts asset values. Pensions funded with taxpayer money disproportionately benefit (or suffer) from those actions.

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Let's look at your performance in this thread, which no doubt mirrors your life in some way.

You lie. You greatly exaggerate what little truth you speak of. You deflect pointing fingers but never the thumb. You use devisive sometimes hateful speech. You use racial speech. You insult those who disagree with you. You are a champion of using public money for your personal benefit.

Essentially you're a darker, less important Trump. It's a shame you are incapable of being better.
