To achieve that high of a salary, you most likely own a business and get all the tax benefits of businesses.

But people making middle and upper-middle class money, the guys that work w2 jobs or small businesses, get killed with taxes way worse than these large business owners who take advantage of loopholes. These commonfolk are the ones that are gonna put money back into the economy. If they're getting taxed like crazy, these guys just end up being smarter with their money, putting more down for retirement and investments, while living frugally. These are people that want to spend but they're just being smart about it. If I think about all of my friends and family in the middle class, it seems like the more they make, the more they put away their money and don't actually spend it because they feel that constraint that "taxes" are going to take half their money, so they dont actually feel like they have much.

Chickfila is honestly so overhyped. Its hard to fuck up fried chicken tbh. the different between chick-fil-a and popeyes or even a spicy mcchicken are not that much. Beef burgers is where you get a big variations.

I imagine myself setting one up in my backyard. In fact when I was little I used to watch espn all day, including the outdoor games. Axe throwing was one of those things so I used to go to my backyard and try to copy em. I didn't set up a flat board, I would just try to hit a tree in my backyard. Also I used to try to chop wood as fast as I could lol...and I mean that literally. If I had a pool I'd probably throw a log in there and try to balance on it.

Saddam was actually a dictator tyrant who ruled with an iron grasp.

Maybe Iraq is worse off now but that doesn't mean Iraq wasn't given the freedom to be something better once he was gone.
Freedom unfortunately also means the freedom to fail. Freedom doesn't always mean progression.

We also can't just go around killing dictators and destabilizing governments. Saddam actually suppressed terrorists in that area, as evil as he was. There are plenty of human atrocities around the world that should take priority above that if our goal is to "kill the bad guys" and "promoted democracy"

I'm a total noob first off and I'm reading as I go.

Secondly, lets say I elect to max out my 401k every year, $19,500 right. Lets say the employer matchs x%. The 19,500 doesn't include employer matching right? So I'm reading that the employee + employer match is like 57,000?

And normally this is tax deductible right, but theoretically speaking it wouldn't be if your max adjusted gross income exceeds their limit? In that case theres really no tax advantage for a 401k, the only advantage really is that the employee matches, essentially giving free money.

It involves very fine details of woodworking.

I dont have the skill to carve it on my own. Is it possible to create a model of it or sketch and have it recreated somehow with a 3D printer or something of that sort?

I was a die-hard wrestling fan back in the day but its honestly lame af. It was going downhill since the mid 2000s. The characters they've been bringing on are horrible. Their storylines are bad. Its just lame.

I dont know why anyone would watch right now.

Whered you go DH. Why cant you rebut my points?

Reading too hard for you?

huh? you didn't make any good points, its not worth my time to refute. but since you keep insisting:

Whats the matter DanHaren?
not much
Why you running?
i didn't run today, will run tomorrow morning. got lazy today.
Why cant you answer how 35 is someones prime?
if you actually watched the series you'd see he was playing some of his best basketball. the season may not have been his prime but he performed better than his prime in the playoffs themselves. and he hit multiple clutch shots throughout the series.

Why cant you answer that AI faced VC in VCs prime but when LeBron faced VC a couple years later on a more talented team, that wasnt prime VC?
when did I say VC wasn't his prime against lebron?

perfect example of bronies just making up bullshit narratives that aren't even true. its the essence of what makes a bronie. its why none of your arguments should be taken seriously because you guys get butthurt at things that aren't even said, then keep bringing those same false narratives up to rile yourselves up further and falsely elevate bron. thats why even reading bronie posts are a waste of time and will just lead to further inaccurate representations of basketball history.

I actually wanted to get the crunchwrap with grilled chicken and the nachos with no meat and extra beans, but that woulda been too complicated and my order would've gotten messed up.

Miller was in his prime at 35 (when AI beat them the year they went to the Finals)? What the fuck kind of revisionist history is this.

Also LeBron went through prime Vince Carter/Kidd/Jefferson the year he dragged the Cavs to the Finals.

Shut the fuck up DanHaren.

How many ppg did miller average in the playoffs that year? Please, share.
Also share how many ppg Miller averaged in his career and his career playoffs.

No it doesn't. 6'0" Allen Iverson dragged his Sixers to the finals and even got a win against Shaq and Kobe.

Dragging your team to the finals like that just means you're an MVP-level player. Jordan-tier is above that.

Iverson also had to go through prime Reggie Miller, prime Ray Allen, prime Vince Carter.

The best player Lebron had to go through was playoff P, while having by far the most stacked team in the conference.

Pippin had 8 first team all defense?

AD finished top-2 in DPOY voting and top-3 in MVP voting.

AD's career bests are 28ppg, 11.8 rpg and 2.9 bpg, 1.6 spg.
Jokic will win MVP and Embiid is a finalist. Neither of their numbers touch those.

He just gets overshadows by Lebron's name, even though AD is the superior player.

None of those things that people are saying makes someone the greatest of all time.

All great players have amazing IQs. He doesn't have photographic memory. There are several greats who are great passers. Being able to jump high and ally-oop doesn't make you great. He can defend 1-5? He doesn't even defend the other teams best player, and actively goes away from those assignments.

At his peak ability you may have had a case, but he just didn't pan out in terms of actually leading his teams to wins. He won 2 of 4 in Miami with the most talented team in the league. Jordon would've won 4 of 4 if he had the most talented team in the league. He beat the Warriors cuz they went through a gauntlet and came out battered and injured. Cavs had a cake walk the entire way. Lebron was in cruise control for the entire season. Richard Jefferson has already admitted that their gameplan was to foul and grab curry as much as possible knowing that they won't call everything. Even if you give him that. AD was the best player on last years lakers squad. We're seeing that clearly now. On top of which there was absolutely no competition.

Lebron for the first time is having some injury problems either with him or his teammates. Every other superstar has dealt with that this entire time. If Klay/Curry/KD/Rose were healthy this whole time, Lebron might just have had like 1 ring total this entire time.
