It's been a difficult financial year for working people everywhere due to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially those who found themselves working from home in a different state than their company due to travel restrictions. In the sudden shift to remote, out-of-state work, not everyone caught that they could be responsible for changing their tax withholding . This has serious and unexpected tax implications. Others in need of cash may have reworked their investments and retirement withdrawals. Some now face capital gains taxes or taxes on retirement account payouts.

WASHINGTON — The White House is trying to overcome diminishing demand for COVID-19 shots by offering businesses a tax incentive to give employees paid leave to get vaccinated. The move comes as the United States is set to meet President Joe Biden’s goal of administering 200 million coronavirus doses in his first 100 days in office.

Lemon’s recommendation comes in response to Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis having an image saying “I CAN BREATHE 4-20-21” tweeted out from the team’s official Twitter account. The tweet received backlash online for being offensive, but Lemon said he was not offended by the post. “I think we need to give each other a little room to breathe and to be able to have these conversations. And so, if you have an issue with the owner saying that, take it up with the owner. Let the owner talk about it. Help him to understand that it may be offensive to some people,” Lemon said in defense of Davis. “But I don’t want to castigate someone for at least trying to do the right … [Read more...] about Watch: Don Lemon Suggests White People Read His Book to Learn About ‘Accountability and Grace’
