Investing in a Roth IRA can be a good choice since they are funded with after-tax dollars, and your contributions can grow tax-free over time. When you withdraw money from your Roth IRA in retirement, you won’t have to pay tax on it, which will help you keep more of your hard-earned money. I retired with 2 million dollars.

Before foolish guesses are made about Pennsylvania choosing a winner in 2024 election, let see history of Pennsylvania presidential voting in last 32 years, since 1992.
* 1992, Bill Clinton(D) won Pennsylvania defeating George Herbert Walker Bush.
* 1996 Bill Clinton won Pennsylvania defeating Bob Dole.
* 2000 Al Gore(D) won Pennsylvania defeating in Pennsylvania George Bush.
* 2004 John Kerry (D) won Pennsylvania defeating in Pennsylvania George Bush.
* 2008 Barack Obama (D) won Pennsylvania defeating John McCain.
* 2012 Barack Obama (D) won Pennsylvania defeating Mitt Romney.
* 2016 Trump (R) won Pennsylvania defeating Hillary Clinton (D) by mere 44000 votes.
* 2020 Joe Biden (D) defeated Trump in Pennsylvania and won Pennsylvania by more than 80, 000 votes.
So if we look at history of Pennsylvania presidential voting in 32 years 8 elections, Republicans have lost it 7 times, with a losing percentage of nearly 88%. And when they did win it, it was by paltry 44000 votes only to lose it by 80, 000 votes 4 years later. Why did Trump lose by twice the margin mere 4 years later? There are many factors, and one of them is that many old Trump voters died disproportionately in Covid. They are not reborn in last four years. In fact more old Trump voters died in last four years also hurts him. So, where will Trump mine new votes? Disaffected Hispanics and blacks? Puleeze…. Nine days before election, Puerto Ricco, who have a huge diaspora population in
Pennsylvania, is called a floating island of garbage. Latins are accused of only good for making babies. And blacks are called watermelon. How many white MAGA can take any one of similar insults if they are inflicted on them and still vote for Trump. So, by what logic anyone dare to suggest, that Trump will not lose Puerto Rincon, Latino, and black votes that were leaning Trump in next nine days? He had won Pennsylvania by a tiny sliver in 2016, only to lose it by twice the margin 4 years later. In 32 years contiguous history, Republicans have lost Pennsylvania, 88 % of the time. Those who think Trump will win Pennsylvania in 2024, despite running a minority hating rally mere 9 days to election, are victim of sick fantasy.

All Puertoricans and latinos in the state, in bases all over the world. VOTE and let's teach a lesson.

[HeidiSchwendeWSI]

Utterly disgusting.... period end of story. It's both bait and an expression of their true feelings. They're now so emboldened they're saying their quiet parts out loud.

[iwmpthd]

Wasn't only the slur against Puerto Rican's. Black people were slurred at the rally too.

[thefpvlife]

Mitch McConnell silence is why Americana are mentally sick. Mitch am mows this hatred to spread.

[longcastle]

It wasn’t just one joke. It was a string of racist jokes and racist and bigoted comments were made by several speakers throughout the evening. As usual NBC trying to downplay this and change the subject.

STATEHOOD FOR PUERTO RICO AND D. C.!!!!

Trump treated puerto rico like they joked of it. It was on the teleprompter, campaign approved it.

[FinarfinNoldorin]

[keithclay]

[Eliusalmo]

After this racist “joke”, Trump just lost the presidential race..

[robertcoane]

Maybe Puerto Ricans are finally angry enough to vote for Independence on election day, 5 November on the island.

[rosaherrera]

I'm Puerto Rican 🇵🇷, and initially, I wasn't planning to vote because I felt that both parties had nothing to offer me. However, when I woke up this morning 🌞 and heard a disgusting joke about Puerto Ricans, it motivated me to go to the voting booth and cast my vote against Trump.

Maybe the Republicans will think twice before pulling such stunts in the future.
