Fading Stimulus Talks and Growing Virus Cases Cause Dow to Drop 650 Points & Checkout the 2021 IRS Tax Rates and Deductions

-

 Per the articles below...

I am interested in seeing the tax rate and deductions for 2021. I am sincerely hoping to pay less taxes this year and get a bigger refund. 

I'm not surprised the Dow didn't plunge more than 650 points. If a stimulus bill is not passed before the election, it is going to be a dismal holiday shopping season. There are a lot of retailers depending on increased consumer spending this holiday season to get them over this financial slump.
