As I remember, the primary reason take-home pay increased was a reduction in amounts withheld for taxes.
Not that the amount of taxes owed went down, just the amount automatically withheld if you didn't adjust your exemptions on form W-4.

So, a smaller, or no refund at tax time.

Belaj leteroj kaj tre interesa historio! Dankon por la prezentado. Mi ja pensas ke falis io dum la verkado de la video, ĉar kelkaj fragmentoj ne havas aŭdion nek via bildon (kiel ĉirkaŭ 17:00, 34:00, 43:00)...

Ĉu vi digitaligis tiujn literojn? Eble estus eĉ interesa projekto fari HTR (Handwritten Text Recognition) kaj tiel disvastigi la enhavon en retaplikaĵo. Kiel vi verŝajne jam scias, ni havas la teĥnologion por tio en la KNAW Humanities Cluster.

"Policies are important. But politicians too often make the mistake of thinking policies can take the place of clear, strong values-based messages. By using a moral values framework to sell her candidacy, Harris is avoiding what Dr. Lakoff calls the "Twelve Communication Traps Democrats and Progressives Must Avoid." These include the Laundry List Trap, the Rationalism Trap and the "Policies Are Values" Trap."

I’m going to be offline for a bit. But I’d really like to know: what are your reasons for donating to the Harris campaign via Mastodon for Harris (secure.actblue.com/donate/mast…)?

in reply to Heidi Li Feldman

I would be donating to the Harris campaign in any event.

But the Mastodon connection made it more convenient, and more fun. It thus encouraged me to donate multiple times, and will likely continue to do so.
