Open Question: If given the choice, would you forgo your company's benefits in return for a higher salary?

And if people were given a choice, do you most people would be responsible and actually buy things like medical insurance, disability insurance, unemployment insurance, and invest in a retirement plan (in lieu of social seurity, state disability, state unemployment, etc)?
To clarify, I mean company benefits along with government benefits.

Personal income tax rates will rise. The top income tax rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which two-thirds of small business profits are taxed). The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent. All the rates in between will also rise. Itemized deductions

Open Question: Illegal aliens DO NOT GET food stamps and a bunch of other government benefits?
(Wed, 01 Sep 2010 02:56:57 GMT)
The tax system collects its due, even from a class of workers with little likelihood of claiming a refund and no hope of drawing a Social Security check.
Illegal immigrants are paying taxes to Uncle Sam, experts agree. Just how much they pay is hard to determine because the federal government doesn't fully tally it. But the latest figures available indicate it will amount to billions of dollars in federal income, Social Security and Medicare taxes this year. One rough estimate puts the amount

Hello,
I'm migrating to Australia from a country where 'tax', 'duties', and 'superannuation' are dull and absurd words. While I've tried to familiarise myself with these concepts to some extend and how they are applied, I still need some guidance in simple words.

Voting Question: Are you pro-Globalization or anti-Globalization?
(Fri, 27 Aug 2010 22:28:09 GMT)
I am both. I believe that free trade is needed and is inevitable and that free trade can help a business to save on production costs which frees up money to be used in other areas such as marketing and research and development. It also helps to keep prices low for consumers. It also helps to employ people in 3rd world nations who may have a hard time getting a job.
However, I would also say that I do feel bad for people who lose their jobs due to offshoring that once paid well and gave genero

I'm not necessarily talking about the pension plans for public/government employees. I see that there are "private" companies in Alaska that offer pensions with full benefits starting as early as 58 (they don't indicate there is a tenure requirement), and exemption from Social Security participation (which is good for someone of my age group as federal government can't be trusted to pay Social Security by the time I retire).

Voting Question: Why shouldn't I draw from my 401(k)?

First off, I absolutely agree that you should put money into their 401k if your employer will match your contribution. That is like free money.
I also recommend leaving it in if you aren't capable of saving for your future. I'm not trying to sabotage my retirement. I have faith that I won't be struggling to survive when I reach retirement though.

Is it better to pay off a student loan completely at once (thus not paying interest) or using the money for a down payment on a home and saving the rest for backup?

I also have good credit and feel not having any debt will help down the road.
