Oops. Emma was still signed in when I posted this. I wish she would sign out before she leaves.

Income isn't the issue. Everything costs more and taxes are higher thanks to the demcrats

Well, all that is worse if your income is less too.

Having less to spend because of inflation and taxes is like your income is lower

Re: How Has the Economy Affected Your Income?

Long, miraculous story made short, after 5 years of living broke and with family, many lay-offs and many go no-where, minimum wage jobs my wife and I landed good jobs. She makes double and I make triple my wages of 5 years ago. God came through BIG for us once again.

LOL! Soooorrryy.

But, yes, inflation is the silent tax. Higher taxes means less expendable income. But if someone also has taken a pay cut or just a cut from more social security withholding, that is less income.
