How poverty and inequality are motivating Democrats on tax policy - Duration: 8:18.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Tonight: the first in our new series examining the policy positions of the
ever-growing crop of 20 presidential contenders.
Lisa Desjardins begins our coverage with a look at the range of tax plans being pushed
on the campaign trail.
LISA DESJARDINS: Front and center on the 2020 Democratic campaign trail, widening economic
divide.
SEN.
KAMALA HARRIS (D-CA), Presidential Candidate: Reversing this administration's giveaways
to the top big corporations and the top 1 percent.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
LISA DESJARDINS: It is a twofold push.
Candidates' are outlining new plans to reduce poverty and blasting the Republican tax cuts,
especially the corporate cuts, as giveaways to the rich.
SEN.
BERNIE SANDERS (I-VT), Presidential Candidate: It is not moral, it is not acceptable, and
it is not sustainable that the top one-10th of 1 percent now owns almost as much wealth
as the bottom 90 percent.
LISA DESJARDINS: Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, newly announced as a presidential candidate,
sparked this latest drive in his 2016 run.
He wants to provide universal health care, as well as free preschool and free tuition
at public colleges.
He'd raise money for that by raising estate taxes on any inheritance over $3.5 million,
with a top rate of 77 percent tax at $1 billion.
SEN.
ELIZABETH WARREN (D-MA), Presidential Candidate: We can't afford to just tinker around the
edges, a tax credit here, a regulation there.
Our fight is for big structural change.
LISA DESJARDINS: Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren would transform the cost of child care.
She'd make it free for low-income families and cap it at much lower than current costs
for most everyone else.
Warren would pay for that with a first-of-its-kind 2 percent tax on overall wealth or net worth
above $50 million.
SEN.
ELIZABETH WARREN: And an ultra-millionaire's tax to make sure that rich people start doing
their part for the country that made them rich.
LISA DESJARDINS: There is more.
SEN.
KAMALA HARRIS: We will deliver the largest working and middle-class tax cut in a generation.
LISA DESJARDINS: California Senator Kamala Harris proposes a more classic middle- and
lower-class tax cut.
Anyone making less than $50,000 a year, would see a $3,000 tax credit.
It'd be twice that for families.
Her pay plan?
Eliminate some current Republican tax cuts.
One thing Harris, and another presidential candidate also tackle housing and rent.
SEN.
CORY BOOKER (D-NJ), Presidential Candidate: We need a lot of change from our tax laws,
making them more fair, to ending things like carried interest.
LISA DESJARDINS: New Jersey senator Cory Booker's plan would give a tax credit to those whose
income goes disproportionately to rent.
He'd also provide a $1,000 savings bond to each child every year until they turn 18.
Booker would raise the current estate tax.
JULIAN CASTRO (D), Presidential Candidate: I can support folks at the top paying their
fair share.
LISA DESJARDINS: Julian Castro, the former housing and urban development secretary under
President Obama, has backed an idea by New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
to return to pre-1980s individual tax rates, with incomes over $10 million taxed at 60
to 70 percent.
That tax is now capped at 37 percent.
New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's campaign also says she's interested in pursuing higher
taxes on the rich.
SEN.
AMY KLOBUCHAR (D-MN), Presidential Candidate: It is time, America!
LISA DESJARDINS: Meanwhile, centrist Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar takes a different approach.
She would close what she sees as tax loopholes for the rich, but otherwise believes her fellow
Democrats are going too far.
SEN.
AMY KLOBUCHAR: I am not for free four-year college for all, no.
If I was a magic genie and could give that to everyone and we could afford it, I would.
LISA DESJARDINS: In a crowded field of Democratic candidates, a rigorous and broad debate over
wealth.
For more, we turn to Philip Bump of The Washington Post.
And, Philip, let me just start right away with, why do you think all of these plans
are happening now?
PHILIP BUMP, The Washington Post: Well, we're talking about a Democratic electorate which,
over the course of the past two decades, and even over the course of the last five years
or so, has grown increasingly liberal.
This is an electorate that that will be voting in the Democratic primaries which wants to
start bold talk on things like raising taxes for the wealthiest Americans.
This is a very different electorate than went to the polls in 1992 and brought Bill Clinton
to the White House, and who then sort of took a middle-of-the-road strategy towards governance.
This is not what Democrats now want to see.
And the Democrats who have jumped into the race already are very cognizant of that.
LISA DESJARDINS: This is a broad spectrum of ideas, all dealing with wealth, some with
rentals and housing, some with child care, others with education.
How do you group these plans in a way to try and conceptualize the important differences
here?
PHILIP BUMP: Well, I think there are a series of plans which really put a focus on where
the revenue is generated from, right?
So we see things like Senator Bernie Sanders' proposals around the estate tax.
We see Senator Elizabeth Warren's proposal on taxing income.
We see these various proposals that are focused on where the revenue comes from.
And we see a lot of proposals as well, including some from Sanders and Warren, which focus
on what the benefits would be, the result from that revenue increase.
We see people like Senator Kamala Harris who put an emphasis on what the programs are first,
and then talk a little bit about where some of the additional revenue would come from
after the fact.
So there -- it really is sort of a bidirectional strategy.
And I think that the thing that we're not used to seeing -- we're very used to see proposed
programs.
We're very used to seeing proposed tax cuts for the middle class, such as Harris' before.
What we're less used to seeing in presidential politics is really bold and aggressive talk
about taxing the richest Americans at a higher rate.
That, I think, is unusual.
And I think that's new to this primary season to some extent too.
LISA DESJARDINS: Right.
And what do we know about the appeal of that to the American voter?
PHILIP BUMP: I mean, Americans broadly would like to see rich people pay more in taxes,
right?
I mean, this is something that Gallup has been polling on for decades.
And, consistently, people think the richest Americans don't pay their fair share of taxes.
Now, the problem is, once you start actually talking about what that means, once you actually
start putting forward proposals about taxation, it gets a lot murkier pretty quickly.
So, for example, if you take Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's his proposal to
-- it was sort of a suggestion.
I shouldn't even really say a proposal, but her suggestion that you tax people who have
$10 million in income or more annually at 70 percent.
That's something that actually doesn't poll that well.
While you can ask people, do you think people who earn $10 million or more a year should
see higher taxes, people -- yes, broadly.
A FOX News poll shows that that sort of taxation is very popular.
But a very specific proposal like because Ocasio-Cortez's doesn't fare as well because
people start considering the numbers.
So, that said, I think it is the case that some of these proposals that are being put
forward that really do narrow pretty specifically on the wealthiest Americans are going to be
ones that the Democratic base can embrace.
LISA DESJARDINS: Philip Bump, a big question with just a little bit of time left.
It's been sort of a rule of American politics for decades that you don't propose a tax increase.
Whether or not these candidates are successful becoming president, is that rule potentially
up for changing?
Do we see sort of a sea change here in atmosphere?
PHILIP BUMP: Yes, I mean, I think it may be, in part because the Republicans, after years
of talking about slashing taxes, were actually able to do so in 2017.
So Americans have seen that sort of proposal go into effect in a way that is fairly novel
in recent years.
And they have seen what the effects of that have been.
We have seen, for example, revenue from corporations drop pretty substantially between 2017 and
2018.
Those are the sorts of things that Americans can now look at and say, OK, these are -- we
know what that change looks like that may make them more open to other changes in tax
code.
And, again, I can't reinforce this enough.
In the abstract, Americans really like the idea of rich Americans paying more in taxes.
It's just whether or not a candidate can find that sweet spot of a particular policy proposal
that appeals both to Democrats in the primary and Americans more generally during the general
election.
LISA DESJARDINS: In about a year or so, we should find out.
PHILIP BUMP: That's exactly right.
LISA DESJARDINS: Philip Bump, thank you very much.

Manny Machado Contract: How Much is Salary With Padres? | Heavy.com - Duration: 5:18.
Manny Machado Contract: How Much is Salary With Padres? | Heavy.com
Manny Machado has agreed to a 10-year, $300 million contract with the Padres, per MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.
ESPN's Jeff Passan reported it is the biggest contract in American sports history.
"Manny Machado's deal, as @Feinsand first reported, is for 10 years and $300 million with an opt-out after the fifth season.
A monumental deal — the single biggest free agent contract in American sports history.
And now every eye in baseball turns to Bryce Harper.
His move," Passan tweeted.
While Machado's 2019 salary has not been announced, Machado's average salary is $30 million over the life of the contract.
This is quite a pay raise from his $16 million salary from last season, per Spotrac.
According to Yahoo Sports' Tim Brown, Machado will have an opportunity to opt out of his deal after the fifth year.
Machado was traded to the Dodgers but his stay in Los Angeles was short lived.
Machado spoke with Yes Network back in November about what he was looking for in free agency.
"At the end of the day, I'll consider every situation carefully," Machado noted to Yes Network.
"I definitely want to be in a place where I can win long term and be a part of World Series teams for many years to come.
It's way too early to tell what else might play a part, but I'm excited and looking forward to it.".
While no one questions Machado's talent, there is skepticism about the Padres' long-term investment in the shortstop.
Brown detailed why some clubs were leery of signing Machado to this sort of a contract.
Those weeks brought speculation Machado's market could be impacted.
A significant talent and among the game's brighter stars, Machado would seek among the biggest paydays in baseball history, and on the postseason stage he was viewed as a wonderful player, and also disinterested and petulant.
As one National League general manager explained, Machado's bona fides – a four-time All Star who averaged 35 home runs over the past four seasons, a defender capable of playing an up-the-middle position, all at 26 years old – might live large in baseball operations departments, but might not be enough to satisfy an owner seeking a face and conscience of the franchise in return for his investment.
Machado's Contract Size & Its Historic Significance Is Being Debated.
Calling Machado's contract the largest in history is a bit of semantics.
Thanks to inflation the salaries in most professions, including an MLB baseball player, are rising.
Comparing Machado's deal with another historic contract (at the time) like Alex Rodriguez is not exactly apples to apples.
"You can call this contract the biggest contract or you can actually convert old contracts to today's dollars (as @craigjedwards did) & see that Manny Machado's contract today is the tenth-biggest in baseball history," The Athletic's Eno Sarris tweeted.
Fan Graphs Craig Edwards reported Rodriguez's $275 million deal would be worth an estimated $592 million by 2019 financial standards.

Heres how much N.J. taxpayers have paid so far for an investigation into the hire of a Murphy staff - Duration: 3:10.
Heres how much N.J. taxpayers have paid so far for an investigation into the hire of a Murphy staff
By S.P. Sullivan | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com and Brent Johnson | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
New Jersey taxpayers have paid dollar 22,500 so far for an investigation launched by Gov. to examine how his administration responded to allegations that a former top staffer raped a campaign supporter, records show.
Peter Verniero, the former state Supreme Court justice who was tapped by Murphy to lead the inquiry, submitted a preliminary invoice on Jan. 16, according to a billing document obtained by NJ Advance Media through the state Open Public Records Act.
The is just the first invoice for the investigation, a source familiar with the issue told NJ Advance Media. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss the issue.
Its not yet known what the final tab will be.
Vernieros firm, firm Sills Cummis Gross, is being paid for its work, the Murphy administration has said.
Vernieros inquiry yielded earlier this month that largely cleared Murphys aides of wrongdoing in how they reacted to Katie Brennans allegations that Albert J. Alvarez raped her after a Murphy campaign gathering in April 2017. At the time, Brennan was a campaign supporter and Alvarez was a campaign official.
Alvarez was later hired to become chief of staff to the New Jersey Schools Development Authority even though people on Murphys staff have testified they were aware of the allegations and he remained in the job for months despite being told twice to leave.
Alvarez has repeatedly denied the accusations and two county prosecutors have declined to charge him with a crime.
Brennan is now chief of staff at the New Jersey Mortgage and Finance Agency.
The report says while Murphys aides made mistakes in how they handled the matter, they acted under their best judgement and understanding of existing law and that, ultimately, the system failed Brennan.
The report also backs up what Murphy has said many times: that he didnt personally know about Brennans allegations until last October, when Alvarez resigned after the Wall Street Journal contacted him for comment.
In the wake of the report, he had been told sooner and that his aides should have acted more swiftly and decisively to remove Alvarez.
State lawmakers from both parties have criticized the report. State Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg, D Bergen — the co chair of a separate legislative investigation into the matter — too many unanswered questions," is peppered with vagaries and uncertainties," and appeared to make more of an effort to exonerate Murphys staff than it did to shed light on the case.
The legislative committee is continuing with its investigation.
So far, the price tag of Vernieros investigation pales in comparison to what New Jersey taxpayers paid to the law firm that former Gov. , a Republican, hired to run The state spent more than dollar 10 million on that inquiry, which Democrats blasted as being biased and incomplete.

Do away goals count in the Champions League? How does the rule work after extra-time? - Duration: 2:24.
Given how much money is at stake in the Champions League, knockout ties are often tense, closely fought and finely balanced affairs
Often the two sides involved will be level after the first leg and will still not be able to be separated after the second fixture
In this situation, away goals come into play, having been brought into the European Cup way back in 1967-68
If the two teams are level on aggregate after two fixtures, the team that has scored the most goals in their away fixture will progress
Do away goals count after extra-time? Yes – if the teams cannot be separated by away goals after 180 minutes, the game goes into extra-time after the second leg
So if there are two goalless games, then the second leg finishes 1-1 after extra-time, there would be no need for penalties, as the away team in the second leg would progress
The away goals rule was first ever used between Budapest Honved and Dukla Prague in the 1965-66 Cup Winners' Cup
Honved progressed and went on to lose to Liverpool in the next round. In the 2017-18 Champions League, away goals were used twice, with Roma benefitting on both occasions
The Italian side edged past Shakhtar Donetsk and then beat Barcelona in dramatic fashion in the quarter-finals
After a 4-1 defeat in Catelonia, Roma won 3-0 at home to squeeze through on away goals

I owe how much? Some Americans shocked by smaller refunds under new tax law. Chicago Tribune - Duration: 4:56.
I owe how much? Some Americans shocked by smaller refunds under new tax law. Chicago Tribune
Wait, I owe the ?
The first tax filing season under the new federal tax law is proving to be surprising, confusing — and occasionally frightening — for some Americans, especially those accustomed to getting money back from the government.
Take Andy Kraft and Amy Elias of Portland, Ore. The couple had grown comfortable getting a small refund each year, a few hundred dollars or more. Then they found out they owe dollar 10,160 this year.
I will never forget the moment, I thought We look good and then we added in the next W 2 and my jaw hit the floor, Kraft said. There was no way I wanted to believe that what I was looking at was accurate.
President Trump promised a reduction in taxes with the new law. And by most measures, the majority of Americans will see one. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center projected the tax law would reduce individual income taxes by about dollar 1,260 on average, although it benefits higher earners more.
Some people already saw the benefit in the form of bigger paychecks. Thats because the law forced employers to change what they withheld. But the system is far from perfect, and many workers didnt have enough in taxes set aside. Now, the IRS wants that money.
In addition, the law also eliminated personal exemptions, increased child credits, limited popular deductions and generally upended many familiar practices that determine what happens at tax time. That has taxpayers feeling a bit unmoored.
We were very comfortable with our tax law, it had basically been there since 1986, suddenly all these things that were very important to people changed ... its all different, said Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center.
Kraft and Elias are able to pay their tax bill but hes still stunned. He even tried to reverse engineer things to figure out where they went wrong, diving into page after page of IRS rules. He painstakingly put together all the numbers. The couple ultimately asked a CPA to verify the figures they were seeing on TurboTax. Crushingly, they were correct.
The couples effective tax rate was lower, but they still owed the government.
I feel like I have reached a stage of grief of acceptance, he said. In a twisted way I should have been paying this all year and now I just have to pay it in one lump sum.
A number of experts such as Gleckman are urging taxpayers to obsess less about their refund or what they owe when measuring the effect of the new tax law. These are just a sliver of your tax picture.
But the truth is, many Americans have come to rely on refunds. About three quarters of U.S. taxpayers typically get one and they had averaged around dollar 2,800. For some low income households it is the biggest cash infusion of the year.
The IRS reported Thursday that the average tax refund as of the second week of filing season was dollar 1,949, down 8.7 percent from the year earlier. The total number of refunds is down 16 percent.
Experts caution it is too early to draw conclusions about a tax season that ends in April. Plus, the number of returns — 27 million as of Feb. 8 — is down 10 percent from a year ago, due in part to the partial government shutdown. The picture will become much clearer as more filings are processed, refunds are issued and the IRS gets back up to full speed.
All the same, the initial results have surprised early filers and worried those who havent yet tackled their taxes.
Part of the problem centers around how employees and employers adjusted or didnt adjust withholdings from paychecks to account for the laws changes. The government issued updated withholding guidelines to help employers determine how much to set aside from an employees paycheck to cover taxes. Withhold too much and you get a refund at tax time; too little and you owe.
It is at best, an estimate. But its an estimate that grew drastically more difficult to make under the new law.
The estimated in a report last summer that about 30 million workers had too little withheld from their paychecks, which made their take home pay bigger but increased their tax liability. Thats about 3 million more workers than normal.
Few taxpayers appear to have heeded the IRS advice to do a paycheck checkup to make sure they had the proper amount withheld. Payroll processor , which is responsible for paying one out of every six Americans, said the vast majority of people in its system didnt update their withholdings last year.
Some taxpayers who did make adjustments found they couldnt get it quite right.
Kevin McCreanor of Milton, Georgia and his wife normally get a sizeable refund each year — it was more than dollar 12,000 last year. While they know waiting for a large refund isnt the best strategy financially, they like a refund and they put anything they get back toward their daughters education. Their income, earned primarily from his wifes job in telecom, can vary greatly, so there was comfort in never facing a big bill.
The couple increased her paycheck withholdings to ensure the same but found they are only getting back dollar 519 this year. Their income and tax rate did increase, and McCreanor acknowledges there is probably more he could have done to prepare but he is very disappointed all the same.
Millions of Americans filling out their 2018 taxes will probably be surprised to learn that their refund will be less than expected or that they owe money to the after years of receiving refunds.
People have taken to social media, using the hashtag GOPTaxScam, to vent their...
Some surprises were welcome, however. Brian Goodell and his wife typically face a tax bill of anywhere from dollar 10,000 to dollar 15,000 each year. But this year the Tigard, Oregon, couple is getting a dollar 15,000 refund. They believe they got some benefit from the increased child tax credit. They also made more charitable donations and increased their withholdings. While Goodell isnt entirely sure why it worked out so well, hell gladly take the refund.
Taxpayers can get a better sense of how they fared by looking at their tax liability or effective tax rate. This information is often available on the summary received from an accountant or tax preparation software. They can also look at the total tax on those summaries or form 1040. These are not perfect measures either, but provide some perspective.
And remember that getting a refund is not necessarily a good thing. Breaking even is really the best outcome from an economic point of view. If you get a refund, that means the government has been holding onto your money when you could have been using it.
Additionally, consider that taxes are rarely an equal comparison from year to year, said Eric Bronnenkant, the head of tax at Betterment and a CPA and certified financial planner. Peoples lives change in ways that can dramatically influence their taxes, such as marriages, divorces, kids, moving or job changes. The average taxpayer may not realize the full impact some of these changes might have.
I am not surprised by the reaction people are having, Bronnekant said. I think for some people the reaction is more justified than others.

Malia Obama's Secret Facebook Account Reveals How Much She Hates Trump - Duration: 2:31.
Can you imagine being brought up with so much hate at such a young age?
Well..it seems Malia Obama's secret Facebook page has reportedly been found, and it divulges
her true feelings about President Donald Trump.
Malia Obama described President Trump as 'evil' on her secret Facebook page where she exchanges
messages friends including Joe Biden's granddaughter, Daily Mail revealed.
The Facebook page operates under a pseudonym and does not appear to have been publicly
updated since 2017.
Its cover photograph is of a row of pink post-it notes which read: 'Donald Trump is President,'
'This is not normal', 'Donald Trump is evil' and 'Don't be complacent.'
Among the comments written beneath the photograph is one by Biden's 20-year-old granddaughter
Finnegan.
She said: 'Never saw this.
I like it.'
There were some other political activity on the page, including a petition demanding action
after the shooting at a Las Vegas country music festival left 58 people dead.
Malia is attending Harvard and had moved into freshman dorms in August 2017, a few months
after she posted it on her profile.
She had been living in New York City in the months beforehand while interning at The Weinstein
Company.
Weinstein offered Malia an internship as a favor to her father, Barack Obama.
There are some other personal posts and pictures as well, showing the travels Malia took during
the year before starting Harvard University.
Read the full story via Daily Mail Amazing how she calls President Trump "evil"….yet
she was interning for Weinstein who has sexually abused many women in Hollywood.
The left never ceases to amaze me.
And nothing is scarier than when radical leftists have children.
They raise them to be hateful human beings.
These kids are subject to full-court-press Leftist propaganda 24/7.
Malia Obama is another example of a brainless liberal.
Once you've declared someone "evil" there are no barriers for anything you do
to them.
No more analysis or intelligent evaluations to be made.
She has long since joined the ranks of "useless idiots."
Funny…
She doesn't want to talk about her daddy who financed terror via Iran to the tune of
$150 billion dollars.
She doesn't know the definition of evil.
The apple sure doesn't fall very far from the tree..this poor soul is just about as
dumb as her racist father and mother.

What Is A Good Amount Of Feedback To Seek - Duration: 1:05.
James Schramko here and I'm just filming a little video. I had a question from
someone and that is, who should they get feedback from for a new book and I said
you know what, not too many people.
Don't get too much feedback.
When I put out my book, I had two people read it other than Kelly Exeter and myself.
It was two students and there were different types and I took their notes and then I just
made a few changes and that was it. If you get too many people to give you
feedback, you end up with a book by a committee.
Same for videos and sales, letters and all of that. I'm often looking at my student's work videos,
presentations, sales pages, book drafts to give feedback but they trust me to give
them a seasoned feedback that then they can go and work on. Because if they ask
their wife or their partner or their spouse or their friend from down the
road at the pub, they're probably not going to get the right feedback. And if they
asked too many people, they're going to be dragged all over the place. So
hopefully this is helpful and also it's less work.
I'm James Schramko, this is typical of the sort of thing that I'm talking about inside SuperFastBusiness
Membership on a regular basis. I hope to see you in there sometime.

Rare new 50p Gruffalo coins released heres how much theyre worth Birmingham Live - Duration: 2:33.
Rare new 50p Gruffalo coins released heres how much theyre worth Birmingham Live
The Royal Mint launched the new commemorative coins depicting the distinctive beast with his orange eyes
A set of 50 pence coins celebrating the 20th anniversary of the literary monster The Gruffalo have been released.
The Royal Mint launched the new commemorative coins depicting the distinctive beast with his orange eyes, poisonous wart and purple prickles and is available in three different finishes, including gold proof, silver proof and brilliant uncirculated.
They will be highly collectable with a limited edition presentation and limited amount of stock, but are not for general circulation, the Royal Mint said.
Beloved childs story, The Gruffalo, was written by Julia Donaldson and first published 20 years ago, selling 13.5 million copies worldwide, accompanied by colourful illustrations from Axel Scheffler.
Ms Donaldson said: I cant believe it has been 20 years since The Gruffalo was first published.
In that time, hes been brought to life on stage and screen, featured in nature trails, library cards and book tokens and turned into a soft toy; and now hes got his own 50p coin.
Prices start from pound10 for the uncirculated coin, pound65 for the silver proof coin, and pound795 for the gold coin, which weighs 15.50g, with only 600 available for purchase, the rarest of the three.
Nicola Howell, director of consumer business at The Royal Mint, said: Over the last 20 years The Gruffalo has become one of the most famous childrens characters in the world.
We felt it was only right, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the book being published to feature him on a commemorative coin. We hope that children and adults across the UK will love this family favourite as much as we do.
This is not the first time a celebrated childrens character has been used for a coin. Recent editions include the Beatrix Potter character collection, Paddington, the friendly Peruvian bear and the Christmas favourite, The Snowman.
They will be available to purchase from www.royalmint.com.

How Long Does It Take to Become a Software Developer – Programming Tip by Tim Buchalka - Duration: 3:33.
- Are you sitting around calculating or trying to calculate
the number of hours you need
to spend studying to become a programmer?
If so, then this video is made just for you, stay tuned.
(energetic electronic music)
Hi, I'm Tim Buchalka and thanks
for checking out this video.
So, a common question that I get from my students
goes something along the lines of this,
they'll say something like, Tim, how many hours
do I need to put in to study this material
so that I can get my first programming job?
Well I'm here to say that unfortunately,
you're looking at things around the wrong way.
Really, the focus shouldn't be
on how many hours it's going to take.
You should just be focusing on actually doing the work
and completing the course.
If you try and figure out or say to yourself,
well I need to spend 50 hours to become a programmer,
you're gonna be focusing on trying to compact everything
down into that 50 hours no matter what.
So, you might not put in the time that you need
to put into complete a coding exercise.
You might not watch a video two or three times
to truly understand it.
And that's because you're continually looking
at your watch all the time to make sure
that you're finishing at a certain time.
The reality is that people learn at different speeds.
Some people absorb content and learn things
at a faster rate than other people.
Some people have got more hours to spend each day
learning material.
That's just the way it is.
So, my suggestion to you is don't try and figure out
down to the hour, how many hours you need.
Rather say to yourself, when I take this course,
or when I start this study,
I wanna be doing it to become a programmer,
I'm gonna complete it no matter what.
And I'm gonna make sure that as I go through the process
I'm gonna completely understand those concepts
taught in a particular video or an ebook or whatever it is
before I move on to the next stage.
If you do that, and get right through to the end
of the material, you will be or will have
the skills basically to be a really productive programmer
because you've understood the concepts.
If you're rushing through trying to beat a deadline
invariably you're going to miss things,
you're gonna miss important things
and that may well really sabotage your future learning.
So, take your time, make sure you go through all
the study material and really absorb it and learn it.
And just think of the analogy
of learning to drive car, or learning to ride a bike.
When you start learning to ride a bike for the time,
you don't immediately say to yourself,
how many hour or minutes is this gonna take
before I can learn to ride a bike?
What you do is you get on the bike
and you start riding.
And you get better and better at it,
and over time you become very competent
and a very good bike rider.
And same with driving the car, like driving a car.
The first time you actually do it,
you're probably fairly slow, and things are hard
you can't remember where the clutch is,
you're trying to change gears and so forth.
And it's hard to absorb everything,
and you know, the stalling the car et cetera.
So, take a step back with your programming
and just say to yourself okay,
I'm just going to take as long
as I need to really understand this material.
And by doing that, ultimately,
then putting that amount in your study,
you're gonna become a more productive programmer
and get that programming job.
Alright, so, that's my video for today.
I hope you got a little out of it,
and I'll see you in the next video.
Alrighty, so, I hope that helped.

I owe how much? Some Americans shocked by smaller refunds under new tax law. Chicago Tribune - Duration: 4:51.
I owe how much? Some Americans shocked by smaller refunds under new tax law. Chicago Tribune
Wait, I owe the ?
The first tax filing season under the new federal tax law is proving to be surprising, confusing — and occasionally frightening — for some Americans, especially those accustomed to getting money back from the government.
Take Andy Kraft and Amy Elias of Portland, Ore. The couple had grown comfortable getting a small refund each year, a few hundred dollars or more. Then they found out they owe dollar 10,160 this year.
I will never forget the moment, I thought We look good and then we added in the next W 2 and my jaw hit the floor, Kraft said. There was no way I wanted to believe that what I was looking at was accurate.
President Trump promised a reduction in taxes with the new law. And by most measures, the majority of Americans will see one. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center projected the tax law would reduce individual income taxes by about dollar 1,260 on average, although it benefits higher earners more.
Some people already saw the benefit in the form of bigger paychecks. Thats because the law forced employers to change what they withheld. But the system is far from perfect, and many workers didnt have enough in taxes set aside. Now, the IRS wants that money.
In addition, the law also eliminated personal exemptions, increased child credits, limited popular deductions and generally upended many familiar practices that determine what happens at tax time. That has taxpayers feeling a bit unmoored.
We were very comfortable with our tax law, it had basically been there since 1986, suddenly all these things that were very important to people changed ... its all different, said Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center.
Kraft and Elias are able to pay their tax bill but hes still stunned. He even tried to reverse engineer things to figure out where they went wrong, diving into page after page of IRS rules. He painstakingly put together all the numbers. The couple ultimately asked a CPA to verify the figures they were seeing on TurboTax. Crushingly, they were correct.
The couples effective tax rate was lower, but they still owed the government.
I feel like I have reached a stage of grief of acceptance, he said. In a twisted way I should have been paying this all year and now I just have to pay it in one lump sum.
A number of experts such as Gleckman are urging taxpayers to obsess less about their refund or what they owe when measuring the effect of the new tax law. These are just a sliver of your tax picture.
But the truth is, many Americans have come to rely on refunds. About three quarters of U.S. taxpayers typically get one and they had averaged around dollar 2,800. For some low income households it is the biggest cash infusion of the year.
The IRS reported Thursday that the average tax refund as of the second week of filing season was dollar 1,949, down 8.7 percent from the year earlier. The total number of refunds is down 16 percent.
Experts caution it is too early to draw conclusions about a tax season that ends in April. Plus, the number of returns — 27 million as of Feb. 8 — is down 10 percent from a year ago, due in part to the partial government shutdown. The picture will become much clearer as more filings are processed, refunds are issued and the IRS gets back up to full speed.
All the same, the initial results have surprised early filers and worried those who havent yet tackled their taxes.
Part of the problem centers around how employees and employers adjusted or didnt adjust withholdings from paychecks to account for the laws changes. The government issued updated withholding guidelines to help employers determine how much to set aside from an employees paycheck to cover taxes. Withhold too much and you get a refund at tax time; too little and you owe.
It is at best, an estimate. But its an estimate that grew drastically more difficult to make under the new law.
The estimated in a report last summer that about 30 million workers had too little withheld from their paychecks, which made their take home pay bigger but increased their tax liability. Thats about 3 million more workers than normal.
Few taxpayers appear to have heeded the IRS advice to do a paycheck checkup to make sure they had the proper amount withheld. Payroll processor , which is responsible for paying one out of every six Americans, said the vast majority of people in its system didnt update their withholdings last year.
Some taxpayers who did make adjustments found they couldnt get it quite right.
Kevin McCreanor of Milton, Georgia and his wife normally get a sizeable refund each year — it was more than dollar 12,000 last year. While they know waiting for a large refund isnt the best strategy financially, they like a refund and they put anything they get back toward their daughters education. Their income, earned primarily from his wifes job in telecom, can vary greatly, so there was comfort in never facing a big bill.
The couple increased her paycheck withholdings to ensure the same but found they are only getting back dollar 519 this year. Their income and tax rate did increase, and McCreanor acknowledges there is probably more he could have done to prepare but he is very disappointed all the same.
Millions of Americans filling out their 2018 taxes will probably be surprised to learn that their refund will be less than expected or that they owe money to the after years of receiving refunds.
People have taken to social media, using the hashtag GOPTaxScam, to vent their...
Some surprises were welcome, however. Brian Goodell and his wife typically face a tax bill of anywhere from dollar 10,000 to dollar 15,000 each year. But this year the Tigard, Oregon, couple is getting a dollar 15,000 refund. They believe they got some benefit from the increased child tax credit. They also made more charitable donations and increased their withholdings. While Goodell isnt entirely sure why it worked out so well, hell gladly take the refund.
Taxpayers can get a better sense of how they fared by looking at their tax liability or effective tax rate. This information is often available on the summary received from an accountant or tax preparation software. They can also look at the total tax on those summaries or form 1040. These are not perfect measures either, but provide some perspective.
And remember that getting a refund is not necessarily a good thing. Breaking even is really the best outcome from an economic point of view. If you get a refund, that means the government has been holding onto your money when you could have been using it.
Additionally, consider that taxes are rarely an equal comparison from year to year, said Eric Bronnenkant, the head of tax at Betterment and a CPA and certified financial planner. Peoples lives change in ways that can dramatically influence their taxes, such as marriages, divorces, kids, moving or job changes. The average taxpayer may not realize the full impact some of these changes might have.
I am not surprised by the reaction people are having, Bronnekant said. I think for some people the reaction is more justified than others.
