DFIN expect to see a significant home price correction. See real estate Tab. for analysis.
DFIN demonstrates how a August 2021 $700,000 home sale in Los Angelous, CA may trap owners into the home. When rates go back to 8% the $700,000 purchase may result in a loss in value of more than $200,000.

Do The Rich Pay Their Fair Share of Taxes?

I couldn't find a chart like this from the 99% but I count on them to refute this data if it is not accurate. They can't refute the data. So if the top 1% earns 21% of income and pays 40% of the tax isn't that enough? The top 10% of earners pay 71% of all federal taxes. I believe it is OK if the bottom 50% of the population only pays 3% or Less.
In Kingdoms and Dictatorships the top 10% would probably have little tax because they were friends of the Kings or ruling class.

June 2021 Comment on The Economy
Some of Us Are Very Concerned
International Economy, provides insights on economic and policy issues
The Federal Reserve has increase the money supply by
over 30% in the last year. This is the greatest increase in the history of
our nation.
DFIN believe that the excessive simulative fiscal policies
(government spending) and simulative monetary policy does not bode well for our
near term economy.
Their Was a Time When Banks Printed
Money
Unlike Crypto Currency Today the
banks typically had hard assets
securing the currency issued.
Think of this money as an IOU. The image below is a Bank of Italy $100 bill. Printed in 1927 just before the banks name was changed to Bank of America. I would argue that this money had greater buying power and was more secure than a US $100 bill today.
