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.

Well first of all I was not talking to you :-p

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

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.
