Considering Elon has not taken a salary since like 2018, he basically has zero taxable income. He would not meet the minimum income to be subject to these taxes as proposed....

While it will never pass, It required an income over 1 million and an invest income over 400K.
That is very very small set of people. There are actually very few people who have standard income that high, and that is by design. Probably professional athletes might be one of the biggest sets of ...

re: Small IRA. What does money talk say to invest in?

Loaded question...
