He has BLOCKED me but @profholden once asked for a “formal theory” of MMT. Well here it is.
The model examines two claims of Modern Monetary Theory: 1) The government determines the price level through the prices it pays when it spends. 2) Deficient demand results when the government does not supply enough currency to meet private demand. #MMT 🏛️💸
The model builds a "monopoly money" framework where the government sets the "price of money" through its spending. While private actors recirculate government currency, they depend on the government as the monopoly supplier. #MonopolyMoney 💰📈

#LoanOfficers and #Realtors continue to butcher the #TaxSavings conversation regarding having a mortgage. When they do, they usually make it appear bigger than it really is which misleads the buyer.

You might want to bookmark this!

Here is how the calculation really works:
The Standard Deduction means you do NOT pay income tax on the first $13,850 earned as a single taxpayer or $27,700 for a married couple.

If your write-offs exceed those limits, you receive an additional tax refund, as your payroll providers do not consider this.
An easy way to calculate the mortgage deduction is to deduct the SALT (State and Local Tax) limit of $10k from the standard deduction. SALT is essentially your state income tax and property tax. In high-cost markets, you can assume the $10k will be met with those two fees.

Most employees don't really know why they get a tax refund when they add to an RRSP.

They understand that they do get one, and that it's "good" but really they don't understand the mechanics.

It's actually so simple.

🧵
Your employer is estimating how much tax you'll owe based on how much they're paying you.

If you add to a personal RRSP, your employer doesn't account for that in their estimate.

When you put money into an RRSP, the CRA won’t charge you income tax on the amount you put in.
If your employer estimated that you'd owe money on that, they paid that amount to CRA on your behalf.

This is your "withholding tax". It's meant to ensure CRA gets their due.

Withholding tax is just an advance payment of your annual income tax.

How do the #Courts decide #maintenance when the income of the #parties is not clear? And cannot apply any formula to the income.

The courts consider the following #aspects.

1. CAPACITY
The presumption that every able-bodied person must earn and maintain their #wife and #children is not accounted for by courts in India.
Courts assume that the family has sufficient means to #support the #husband and provide income based on lifestyle.

The courts are mindful of deductions on which parties have #nocontrol, such as Contribution to Provident Fund and other direct #taxes. ..

#ChatGPT on #gormint and #taxes

Oh, how I love to pay my taxes
To the government that never relaxes
They take a chunk of my hard-earned money
And spend it on things that are not so funny

/1
Like wars and bailouts and subsidies
And salaries for their cronies and buddies
They say it's for the common good
But I wonder if they really understood

#gormint #taxes #ChatGPT

What it means to live on a budget
And not to waste or fudge it
And when I dare to ask them why
They tax me so much and make me cry

Thread on OPEC
For those who are attacking OPEC. Hear me out:
1-9 I am a strong believer in free markets. Yet, natural resource economics dictate that natural resources need market management

2-9 Where did the idea of #OPEC come from?
Yep.. Texas Railroad Commission!
#Oil #OOTT
3-9 Just so you know in case you have no idea, Oklahoma and Texas used the armed national guards to occupy privately owned oil fields so both states can manage the oil market! This happened in the United States of America!
4-9 Has the US federal government managed the oil market? Yes, and for a long time via different means. For example, the US federal government adopted a communist-style price control that controlled all energy prices throughout the 1970s.

I did a comparison of tax systems in Europe/USA for in near venture/startup community of @aabulkhairov (uklad.vc).

Useful when you're doing a global #startups
A few highlights in the thread!

First, the salaries themselves vary greatly between continents 🚀 Image
For the U.S. I used #California median salaries (source @talentdotcom), and for Europe I used Portuguese salaries (median too from google first). In Europe, salaries are the same for ease of comparison taxes.

— Residency is implied everywhere
— Also Single for US (different income tax for married)

This morning’s rant will be about Prop 121, how important it is that #workingfamilies understand our role in #taxpolicy and fighting for #fairtax to reach #economicsecurity

CO’s flat income tax rate means the wealthy always pay less in taxes than me & probs you #copolitics
First of all, this is a great ballot guide if you care about economic security and recovery. @BellPolicy nerds out on this stud so we don’t have to. They have produced tons of data throughout the years to show us what it means to thrive or struggle in Denver, & CO.
#copolitics
First, it is a #VOTE NO on prop 121 ya’ll, let’s get into it:

This prop would lower income taxes across the board. But it isn’t what you think it is. We can’t afford to lower taxes, we have to make #fairtax possible by finding ways to make them #equitable
