For me, that the Cold War began with the US wanting to stop Stalin's plans of imposing communism on the world. Did anybody else's curriculum portray Trotsky in a positive light? lmao it's funny to imagine the weirdos who write those textbooks were trots.
I still have to tell people at work that getting a pay raise is always good, you will never lose more money on taxes then you are taking home. Its such a simple concept but so many people seem to have no idea how it works.
The most valid form of this argument is if you happen to go over a cut-off for a benefit. I'm not really sure what they are in America.
The Welfare Cliff is a big problem, but it largely comes in the form of reduced benefits (losing SNAP, losing Medicaid, losing HUD subsidies, etc). You're not going to be in a situation where your marginal tax rate on the next dollar is 100+%.
Yes, I agree.
