I switched to TaxAct a few years ago and it's done well for me. Wife and I both have sole proprietorship business earnings and expenses, so it works for decently complicated taxes.

If wage data here is artificially inflated wages, then the gap would be even larger than it appears on the chart, which underlines the point that prices rose faster than wages, causing an affordability gap.

This could have something to do with it, especially if we look at the larger size of the gap going into the election year.

I mean, I was hoping you were providing the $100 million. But if you're not, you're absolutely in as a distinguished professor of opinion writing.

Another vote for Reading Market Terminal. Definitely go there a lot. But don't miss Chinatown restaurants, which are right by the convention center. I also had a fantastic breakfast at the Green Eggs Café.
