I entered "married" in the same calculator and it gives me a 29.75% effective rate and 210k take home. If your math above is for a single person, I haven't met anyone who is paying more than $2500 in rent. $6k for a single pe

I filed my taxes with TurboTax last year. Did you account for state tax deduction, mortgage deduction, property tax deduction, standard deduction, child tax credits, 401k deductions, charity deductions, and a myriad of other options ? There

This math is remotely not accurate. 42% tax rate ? Tax rates are progressive. I made a whole lot more last year and my effective Federal + State was 28%. Remember, there are a ton of deductions available. $6k in rent ?? Who pays that ? I ha

Thank you for putting these numbers out. Also, kind of reminds me of Facebook revenue growth

These numbers are unreal. From 100 cars in 2011 to 140,000 Model 3s (+100K Model X and S) in 2019. And all electric. I personally am not interested in minor changes in financials, and want to just sit back and marvel the machine that Tesla

I am really concerned about the rapid development of the Huawei case. Sure Huawei has issues, but which corporation doesn’t. If you are an US exec, I would limit travel to China as one can risk being arrested for frivolous reasons.

$216mn in India and $16mn Vietnam seems really small investments in the grand scheme of things. I doubt this indicates any material change in strategy other than introducing some manufacturing in India

I don't think half the country is racist in the traditional sense. But if a supporter tolerates this behavior because they like something else (e.g., tax cut), doesn't that make him or her a willing participant ?

Dems just flipped 40 seats in the House and 300 in the state legislatures. So there is a strong possibility that Trump will lose. That said, Trump is just a vocal symptom of larger trends in the society. They may be subdued momentarily once

I think companies should be allowed to lay-off people. The lay-off process should be fair. A few months of salary to sustain, paid off bonuses due, RSUs about to be vested etc. Don’t cancel perf bonus or RSU vesting by laying off people a w

Almost all of these “studies” have an agenda, and usually it is to promote a low tax state. So, I would take this with a huge grain of salt. Especially the article states that Texas was propelled to #1 from #8, because of preventative healt

Do we really believe that lowering taxes increases tax receipts ? I don’t think any tax experts believe it anymore. There have been number of examples, like Bush Tax cuts and Kansas tax cuts that didn’t increase tax revenue
