Why the fuck didn’t I know this existed?
The tax hike only applies to income over that threshold. When you go from $250,000 to $250,001, you only pay a higher tax rate on that one extra dollar. Your taxes will go up by a few cents. If you earn $300,000, you will pay a slightly higher tax rate on the last $50,000 of your income — less than a couple thousand dollars. Even people making half a million dollars a year won’t be ‘taxed at rates similar to those who make $5 million,’ because only half their income will be taxes at the top rate.
I’ve been banking with Chase since 2004 - when it was still WaMu. In those 6 years, my savings interest rate has slowly decreased from its starting high of 2.1%.
I’ve been a loyal customer to Chase/Wamu for over 6 years. For the past 2 months, my interest rate has bottomed out to .01%. I called them to see what they could do for me. The answer: nothing.
So I’m transferring my savings to a ridiculously better AmEx Savings Account. All but the bare minimum I have to maintain to keep free checking at Chase. File this under: things I should have done a lot sooner.
If our financial system is so high-strung, so manic-depressive, that low rates for a few years can inflate a monstrous bubble, while a few discouraging words from high officials can send them into a tailspin, this doesn’t make the case that policy must walk on eggshells, forgoing any attempt to fight prolonged unemployment. Instead, it makes the case for much, much stronger financial regulation.
That’s right. I AM A GOD.
