WR Brandon White

[Volatility_rivals135605]

This young man's film is in a bottle. I recently noticed how Peter Kikwata is no longer heavily targeted on another platform and Brandon White was added, even tho White is unrated. He def 4 star talent, diamond in the rough type of player. His Sophmore film is amazing, extremely curious to see his Senior film this year. Would def be a great weapon to add to the 22 class.

While replacing Kikwata with White may hurt our recruiting rankings, if in fact that does happen, that said, both of them are great WR's, and would both be welcomed additions to 22. White's game is very familiar, watch his film and you'll quickly become a fan and understand why the staff is pursuiing an unrated recruit.

What is your opinion on Biden’s new proposed death tax? Since I know you are in the financial sector.

Kentucky is the major competition there. Actually talked to him last night.

Its illegal, or should be. Its double taxation. The money to purchase was taxed when it was made. Im not a fan of taxes. There is so much waste in the Fed govnt, they could easily find what they need if they point the power of the IRS to Govnt spending.

I dated a girl who worked for Microsoft, as a customer success manager, she worked in DC and her clients was major govnt offices. Like Dept of XYZ...

Some of these Dept's would make BILLION dollar purchases, then not use it, or only use some of what they purchased. Its really nothing more then money laundering, and why Im 110% against Lobbyist. Thats the job of Lobbyist, to get their companies their fair share of tax payers money. Its also why I strongly support Term Limits, because lobbyist are on every corner in DC. The longer an elected official remains in DC, the more likely their "good intentions" are replaced by self serving influences.

Im also a flat tax supporter. Financial discrimination is very real and actively deployed in how our govnt taxes us. People should not be penalized because they worked hard, found a niche, in many cases accepted extremely high levels of financial risk to find success.

When its all said, Fed, State, Products, services, property, etc, many people pay >50%.... Its criminal!

No entity should have the right to take more then what you are allowed to keep of your earnings.

Democrats only solution for every problem is tax & spend... There is so much corruption, they should make Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, etc pay their fair share in taxes. Currently the janitor at your kids school pays more in taxes then Amazon, which is insane!

Eventually, people will give up their citizenship to bypass taxes. When you make a certain amount, there is no real benefit to remaining a U.S. citizen. You can still live here, but not be eligible for SS, etc.. So eventually I think you'll see a very large number of people freely surrender their citizenship.

1. Term limits for Senators & Congress
2. Make lobbying illegal
3. Internal audits regularly
4. Govnt Depts no longer have a "USE IT OR LOSE IT" budget practuce. This entices Govnt depts to waste their budget, because if its not completely spent, their budget could be reduced next year, so they intentionally waste it. Most people are not aware of this policy, if they were it would probably make people cringe a little more in Feb..

5. Enact Flat Tax:

The first $24K-$30K everyone makes is Tax free. Every Penny above that value is taxed at the same rate for everyone. No matter if its 40K or 40mill. Lets say hypothetically every penny above $24K is taxed at 25%.

6. Simplify Business taxes, with no writes off, NO OFFSHORE accounts NO TAX HAVEN Corporate offices, simply to bypass taxes. The fact BILLION dollar companies do not pay any taxes is criminal, esp when the govnt taxes individuals. While they should pay taxes, it needs to be a competitive rate. YOu can bring down the rate, if everyone pays a small %.

Paying taxes is something politicians don't like to do.

But WVU getting some top WR talent is a must.

When I read about the proposition, I figured I would ask you about it. Might give you a call to go further in depth about it. Excellent statements as well.

I figured we probably know each other, given your handle. You can reach out on FB, Linkedin, or shoot me a text anytime to schedule a chat. My info is prety easy to find with a simple google search.

You make some really good points about the death tax, and I'm all for small government and low taxes. However, the "flip side" is that the people who inherit money usually don't earn it, so why should they be exempt from paying tax on it? In other words, why should a blue collar worker have to work his a$$ off to earn his money and be taxed, yet "Buffy" simply receives a windfall, and doesn't have to pay tax on it. I guess that the perspective from which you look at this issue matters greatly. From the decedent's perspective, it's very likely that the dead person has already paid taxes on his income, so it seems unfair to tax the same assets twice. Conversely, it would be a difficult argument to make that from the heir's perspective, it would be unfair to tax his windfall.

61% is criminal. If it was a reasonable number, lets say equal to Capital Gains (15%), that would be reasonable. Taxing ANY American, no matter how wealthy they are above 25% should be considered criminal, muchless 61%, which is outrageous. Would you like to be taxed 61%? Esp when the likes of Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, etc Pay 0%!

Dont allow the media to play class warfare with you. Many successful people in this world did not come from money, they come from humble beginnings, studied & worked extremely hard, found a niche, accepted high levels of personal financial risks, far more risk then someone who chooses a safer option and works as an employee, before they find success.

Not every wealthy person is a trust fund baby. This death tax will effect far more then those types, it will impact 1st generational wealth. Basically, it doesnt matter how hard you work, how much risk you take, cause when you die, the Govnt gets it all! Thats INSANE!

Again, if we was applying something like Capital Gains Tax, thats something most people could probably accept, but 61%........ That is tyrannical & cause for overthrow. No entity should have the power to take more then you earn.

Before I die, Ill just surrender my citizenship when Im older, and give a massive :middlefinger:to the govnt. So my kids benefit from MY HARD WORK and not some corrupt self serving career politician.

Not to mention that it hurts those, especially in WV, due to the effect of passing down owned land is how many WVians gather wealth and keep it in the family. The government wants that land and is going to tax the **** out of it when owners pass away and it passes hands.

 

[Volatility_rivals135605]

Imagine if we went back in time and told our Founding Fathers that our Govnt was wanting to tax its citizens at 61%? What do you think they would recommend? How would they feel? Esp when that govnt rarely if ever even reflects the values of its people or serves their best interests?

Im not a fan of partisanship, Im not a fan of career politicians, lobbyist, you solve those two problems and many of the issues that inhibit effciency within DC would be resolved.

61% I would seriously take up arms if someone tried to tax me 61%. Its unamerican & treasonous. If Billion dollar companies paid a small share, and the govnt resolved some of its wastes & blatant corruption, they would have every penny they need.

I completely agree with you that 61% is a confiscatory tax rate. I'd be fine with the long term capital gains rate of 15%, but think that the death tax rate should probably mirror the ordinary income tax rate. Another issue is the size of the estate. An estate must be worth several of millions of dollars for any death tax to apply, correct? (I know that the threshold for death tax has changed multiple times over the years.) Moreover, it might make sense to add some exceptions and/or deductions where the assets being bequeathed aren't liquid, such as a farm. I don't like the idea of the children of a farmer being required to sell the farm just so that they can afford to pay the taxes, but don't feel sorry for "Buffy," who is bequeathed enormous bank accounts, stocks and bonds. Oh, and don't worry about my being a victim of "class warfare" propaganda, as I'm a Republican, and don't watch the garbage on CNN, MSNBC, etc.

It Doesnt matter what the value threshold is... IT will impact many 1st generational wealth, or land owners/farmers/etc...

I mean the entire life goal of a parent is to provide a better life for your kids, to secure their future, your grandkids future. So, I dont think ANY tax rate should be based/classified/categorized on ones income of accruement of assets. Its completely discriminatory, and no different then someone saying well... If you are Black Im going to tax your income at 20%, but if you're white Ill tax your income at 30%, or vice versa...

!st time business owners
1st gen doctors
1st gen Lawyers
1st gen Engineers
1st gen etc etc

The issue with policies such as this is they are "get it passed", get addicted to its revenue, then need more so they continue to lower that threshold down, till they'll start taxing Life Insurance at 61%...

Its a trajectory that ends in chaos. Whatever happened to our govnt working towards a Balanced Budget??

Your view is understandable, but unrealistic. I agree with your entirely regarding government spending, as I'm a fiscal conservative, first and foremost. However, the reality is that U.S. politicians are going to continue to overspend their budgets, and somebody has to pay for the waste. Is that somebody going to be a blue collar worker, who is paying 7.65% for Social Security and Medicare plus income tax on his earned wages or the kids of dead multi-millionaires?

Its unrealistic due to corruption. Companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, etc who setup a corporate office in a Tax Haven country such as Ireland to bypass U.S. taxes should be illegal. Why is it not? Lobbyist & Corruption.

The fact any politician is pursuing increasing taxes on individuals while these multi-billion dollar company pay 0 is completely outrageous.

Its unrealistic because people are indoctrinated to think all white people are wealthy and were born with a silver spoon or All "rich" people were born that way and are inhuman.

Its only unrealistic because we allow it to be. We have the power to change our Govnt, unless theres an election in a pandemic.

Even you have a label "Buffy", which is kinda like "Karen"... Many wealthy people got that way through great sacrifice, work ethic, & acceptance of significant financial ruin to achieve something greater then a safe route of being an employee. Great Risks = Greater the Reward.

Now, if a family has been wealthy for more then X generations, I can maybe understand a "Generational Wealth Tax", but if its 1st or 2nd Gen, no I dont support any tax that differentiates us as Americans. We are ALL equal, and the policies of our Govnt should reflect that and not be biased towards us for any reason, including your savings account. It should be considered unconstitutional for any Govnt policy to treat any group of people differently then any other, for any reason.
