Because we don’t know who will be in the White House come January 2025 – let alone which party will control Congress – we also can’t know what to expect from the tax code. Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act are set to expire at the end of 2025.  What does this mean? It means that we might all be paying a lot more in taxes in another two years… and not just on our paychecks. The hikes would potentially affect investment income as well as inherited estates. Freeport Society friend Jared Dillian of The Daily Dirtnap has an interesting take on this.

That’s why there’s one tax day I pay particular attention to…

As we close out 2023, this is a good time to take stock of the year that was. Of course, everyone’s doing that this week, so we’re adding our unique Freeport Society take.

There’s a great show on Neflix that you should watch. It gives us a glimpse of everything both right and wrong with American capitalism today. The question is, how do we invest in this mess. Let’s find out.
