Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan is leading a charge to push back on money managers voting investors’ shares to push their agenda. That agenda, says Sen.

You feel the prices rising, and you're worried about war, the border, and governors and bureaucrats who just can't seem to give up on their "emergency" powers. You're probably among the 80% of Americans who say that they are not better off today than they were a year ago. That's according to a recently performed I&I/TIPP poll. According to Tipp Insights' Terry Jones: The poll asked: "Generally speaking, is your family better off today than it was one year ago, worse off than it was one year ago, or about the same as it was a year ago?" Fewer than one in five (20%) said they were … [Read more...]

You know that measurements of inflation have been creeping up for months, higher and higher. But now you can probably can "feel" inflation, as it eats away at your savings and paycheck. That's the feeling many Americans are experiencing today.

Arizona residents have avoided a major tax increase on higher incomes after a judge ruled the tax unconstitutional (per the Arizona state constitution). The surtax would have charged some Arizonans an 8% marginal tax rate, but after the judge's ruling, Arizona's tax rates will actually fall to some of the lowest in the nation by 2024. That year, Arizona will phase in the lowest flat tax rate in the country (for states with an income tax), of only 2.5%. The WSJ editorial board writes: Nixing the surtax means Arizona will soon have a flat tax of 2.5% on individual incomes, the lowest flat rate … [Read more...]

You know by now that ESG fund managers are using investor dollars to pursue their own political goals. That's why Your Survival Guy encourages you to invest in individual stocks and bonds with the help of an investment advisor who has a fiduciary responsibility to you. ESG funds, on the other hand, are selling you something different. They want you to buy their view of the world. And while they may talk a big game, the reality is that their ESG principles only seem to apply to countries in the U.S.A. In National Review, Andrew Stuttaford implies that when there's money to be made in China, … [Read more...]
