Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold experienced a bittersweet Super Bowl victory. Despite winning the championship, he lost approximately $249,000 due to California's 'jock tax.' This tax, calculated based on duty days spent in the state, disproportionately affects athletes playing in California. Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason has criticized the tax and urged the NFL Players Association to avoid holding future Super Bowls in California until the policy changes. Several other states also impose a jock tax, but California's rate is the highest. This financial hit raises questions about fairness and the impact of state taxes on professional athletes, and whether it incentivizes them to play elsewhere. California's policies might drive away talent and revenue.

Marc chats with sportsman Tom Ackerman about his recent recognition at the Guns N Hoses banquet, where he helped raise $1 million for Backstoppers through telecast volunteering. They dive into the impact of jock taxes on professional athletes, including the surprising $71,000 hit for Super Bowl winner Sam Darnold. The conversation shifts to Missouri sports highlights, including Mizzou's three-game SEC win streak, stadium renovations at Memorial/Fero Field, and the upcoming seasons for City soccer and the Blues, plus the St. Louis Billikens' NCAA prospects. Ackerman combines sports insight with personal experiences and local sports culture, giving listeners a mix of numbers, anecdotes, and community impact.

Hour 3 opens with Marc reviewing listener reactions and celebrating the show's national ranking, before diving into a wide-ranging political and local discussion. Former Senator Jim Talent explains the Senate's procedural roadblocks preventing the SAVE Act from reaching a vote and the complexities of filibuster rules. Marc shifts to St. Louis, analyzing the city's failing schools, rising taxes, and exodus of residents and businesses, highlighting economic pressures and urban mismanagement. The hour closes with “Kim on a Whim,” exposing California's absurd jock tax through the lens of Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, illustrating excessive government taxation on professional athletes. Hashtags: #MarcCoxShow #JimTalent #Filibuster #SAVEAct #StLouis #UrbanExodus #KimOnAWhim #JockTax #CaliforniaTax #SamDarnold

Marc kicks off the first hour celebrating The Marc Cox Morning Show's #13 national ranking from Barrett Media, using the moment to highlight the show's authenticity and connection with listeners. The discussion turns sharp as he breaks down Senator Hawley's revelations about activist funding networks fueling unrest and the Senate's ongoing battle over the SAVE Act and voter ID. Kim's “Kim on a Whim” zeroes in on California's outrageous “jock tax,” sparking a broader takedown of St. Louis's tax-heavy policies driving businesses away. Marc closes the hour confronting the media's blatant refusal to report facts about the Canadian school shooting, calling out how political correctness has replaced truth in modern journalism.

Let's talk about something that doesn't get people excited. No machines, nothing about forklifts, and no mention of productivity or numbers. I'd like to talk about paperwork. I know I know, but this isn't boring paperwork. This is the paperwork of life. The kind of documents that quietly follow you from your first job all the way to retirement. The kind that, when handled correctly, makes life easier, and when ignored, can create stress, delays, lost money, or even lost opportunities.  I was looking for the right word here, I highlighted the words personal responsibility, and that's not what I'm looking for, but there are things we, ourselves, need to make sure we get right. So instead of harping on what we need to do I'll just speak to it in an, “I've seen how this plays out” kind of way. Because here's the truth, no company, no HR department, no recruiter, no government agency cares about your paperwork more than you do, and they never will.  When someone gets a job offer, they're excited. And they should be. But onboarding isn't just about orientation videos and a badge. From day one, you're asked to complete documents like I-9 employment verification, W-4 tax forms, Direct deposit information, Benefit elections, Emergency contacts, Policy acknowledgments. And these aren't just forms. These documents determine whether you can legally work, how and when you get paid, how much tax is withheld, whether you have insurance, and who gets called if there are any problems or emergencies.  When onboarding paperwork is filled out incorrectly, or rushed through, problems can start immediately. Delayed paychecks. Incorrect tax withholdings. Missed benefits. And the worst part? Most of those problems are preventable. Here's a tip or an opinion I guess, if a document affects your pay, your health, or your job security, slow down. Ask questions if you do not understand something. Especially anything like deductions. Read what you're signing. If you don't understand a box, don't guess. Guessing on official paperwork almost always comes back around to us.  The I-9 form is one of the most misunderstood documents in employment, and one of the most important. This form verifies your identity and your legal authorization to work in the United States. It requires specific documents, completed within a specific timeframe. If our hiring agent doesn't properly complete the I-9 you may not be allowed to start work. Your employment could be delayed, or you could be terminated, not for performance, but for a compliance issue. This isn't personal. It's just the law. As a worker, our responsibility is simple but serious. We need to bring valid, acceptable documents, make sure names match exactly, and pay attention to dates and signatures. Just this week I've heard about 3 individuals that met all the qualifications for a position, interviewed great, was offered the position, only to say that they didn't bring 2 forms of I.D. Their hiring process was delayed until they could return with their documents. For one of them the position was filled before she could return. And to our recruiter, being unprepared for an I-9 and the onboarding sends a message, fair or not, that you didn't take the process seriously.  Taxes are another area where people often say, I'll just fill it out the way I always do. That mindset can cause problems for us. Your W-4 determines how much money is withheld from each paycheck. Too little withheld? You might owe money at tax time. Too much withheld? You're giving the government an interest-free loan all year. And it's important to remember that life changes, marriage, kids, second jobs, side work, all affect how your W-4 should be filled out. Here's another tip or opinion! Our paycheck is our responsibility. If something looks off, ask about it immediately. Waiting six weeks doesn't fix it, it only multiplies the problem.  I want to mention a bit on our personal records too. Health records, Immunizations, Vaccinations, Physicals. In warehousing, manufacturing, transportation, and logistics, these come up more than people realize. Certain jobs, sites, or clients may require proof of Tetanus shots, Hepatitis vaccinations, physical capability exams or ergonomic testing, even drug screening history. Yes, these request or needs are rare in our field, but if you can't produce records, you may be delayed from starting a job, or even be excluded from certain assignments or have to repeat tests at your own expense. Keeping copies of our health records is important, it's about preparedness. Create a simple system, a physical folder at home, or digital copies on a secure drive with clear file names and dates. This is one of those, future you will be thankful for, habits.  Oh and many people assume education records don't matter once they're working. That's not always true. High school diplomas, GEDs, college transcripts, certifications, licenses, these documents can come up when applying for leadership roles, moving into safety or compliance positions, transitioning into office or management roles and applying for specialized training. Saying I completed it is not the same as proving it. If you've earned something, keep the documentation. You worked for it. Don't let missing paperwork slow your progress later.  And here's another free opinion! Your resume should never be written in a panic. It should be updated after each role, after learning new equipment, when gaining certifications, and after taking on leadership tasks. Too many people try to rebuild their entire work history the night before applying for a job, and details get lost. Dates get fuzzy. Job titles blur and we'll leave off some of our accomplishments. A resume isn't just for job hunting. It's a record of our career. Here's another unsolicited opinion of mine! Keep a running document. Add bullet points as you go. That away when opportunity shows up, you'll be ready.  Now let's talk about open enrollment, this is where people can get hurt financially. Open enrollment windows are like written in stone. Miss them, and you may be locked out of Health insurance, Dental and vision, Life insurance or Disability coverage until the next enrollment period. Saying “I didn't know” doesn't reopen the window. This happened to me last year. I asked about the dental and vision offerings, but I didn't follow up when no one got back to me. So I didn't have dental and vision insurance! Understanding your benefits isn't optional adulthood, it's more like survival planning. If you don't understand a benefit, ask HR. That's what they're there for. And don't hesitate to follow up if you haven't heard back. Ignoring enrollment because it feels overwhelming can cost thousands of dollars later.  Here is a hard truth, deadlines don't care about your schedule, your stress, or your intentions. Miss a form deadline and benefits don't activate, our coverage can lapse, pay adjustments don't happen. Professionals respect deadlines, even when the task isn't exciting. And we are professionals, right? That's part of being dependable.  And all this documentation follows us right into retirement as well. At the end of your career, paperwork doesn't stop, believe it or not it actually increases! Retirement accounts. Pension records. Social Security documentation. Healthcare elections. People who kept records throughout their career transition more smoothly. People who didn't often scramble at the worst possible time. Your future self deserves better than all that last-minute chaos!  I recently read something by a government agency. It said that paperwork isn't the enemy, neglect is. It made me think a bit!  The paperwork of life isn't glamorous, but it is important. Careers don't fall apart because of one bad day on the floor. They fall apart because of missed details spread out over time. Let's all be sure to handle our paperwork with the same pride we bring to our work ethic.  Oh, and I mentioned retirement a minute ago. One of the biggest myths is that retirement planning begins when you're close to retirement. It doesn't. It begins with your first benefit election, and your first 401(k) form, and your first beneficiary designation. The people who retire smoothly didn't magically get organized at 60, they stayed consistent for decades. Every form you complete correctly today reduces stress tomorrow. Every document you keep track of becomes a gift to your future self.  Let me leave this part with something simple and honest. Paperwork is how the world keeps score. It records who you are, what you've earned, what you're entitled to, and how you're protected. Ignoring it doesn't make it go away, it just hands control to someone else. So lets take ownership of it, ask questions, respect those deadlines, and keep records.   Ok, I'll leave it at that. I don't want it to sound like I'm standing up on a soap box here, but I've seen so many people struggle and take financial hits over the very things we discussed today. If you have any questions about anything I brought up, check with your HR department or a member of your management team, ask questions. And as always, feel free to send us an email to hose@warehouseandoperationsasacareer.com and I'll help find you an answer. Thanks for checking in and as always, please be safe in all you do.

Can You Retire on 1 Million Dollars in 30 Years or Are We Lying to OurselvesOne million dollars sounds rich.But in 30 years, because of inflation, it may only have the buying power of about 400 to 500 thousand in today's money. If you follow the traditional 4 percent rule, that gives you about 40 thousand dollars a year before taxes.The real question is not can you retire on a million.The real question is how do you want to live.Do you want freedom, travel, healthcare security, the ability to help family, invest in your church, support your community. Or are you planning to live tight and hope nothing goes wrong.For many Black families, reaching a million in net worth is a major milestone. That is real progress. But saving alone is not a strategy. Retirement is about cash flow, not just a lump sum.If your million is sitting in an account and you are only withdrawing from it, you are slowly draining your life's work. Without rental income, business equity, dividends, royalties, or ownership stakes, you are depending on a shrinking pot.In high cost cities, 40 thousand a year will not feel like retirement. It will feel like restriction. Taxes rise. Healthcare costs rise. Insurance goes up. Food is not getting cheaper long term.So what is the solution.Increase the target.Build ownership, not just savings.Reduce lifestyle expenses.Create income streams that do not clock in and clock out.Learn the mindset and moves that lead to real results.Please visit my website to get more information:[http://diversifiedgame.com/](http://diversifiedgame.com/)

Jeremy Keil examines how tax law changes might affect Roth conversion strategies for retirees in 2026. A few years ago, Roth conversions felt like one of those rare financial strategies that was almost too obvious to ignore. Taxes were historically low. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act had put a clear expiration date on those lower brackets. And for many retirees, the logic seemed airtight: pay taxes now at a lower rate so you don't pay more later. Fast forward to today, and that certainty just isn't the same. With new tax legislation making today's lower tax brackets permanent—at least for now—many retirees are asking a very different question: Are Roth conversions still worth it in 2026 and beyond? The short answer is yes. But not for the reasons many people think. The real problem isn't Roth conversions themselves. The problem is the assumptions people make about them. Roth conversions exploded in popularity when it appeared obvious that taxes were about to rise. The assumption was straightforward: convert while rates are low, avoid higher taxes later, and you'll come out ahead. But that assumption rested on two ideas that don't always hold up: That tax rates would definitely rise. That income in retirement would naturally fall. For some people, both are true. For many others, neither is. Markets have been strong. Retirement accounts are larger than expected. Capital gains, pensions, and Social Security stack on top of one another. And suddenly, retirement income isn't as “low tax” as it once looked on paper. The Difference Between Tax Bracket and Tax Cost One of the most common mistakes retirees make is focusing on their tax bracket instead of their tax cost. On a tax return, you might see yourself in the 12% or 22% bracket and assume Roth conversions are inexpensive. But once Social Security enters the picture, the math becomes more complicated. As additional income comes in, Social Security benefits that were once tax-free begin to become taxable—up to 85% of the benefit. In that phase-in range, every dollar withdrawn from a traditional IRA can cause more Social Security to be taxed. The result is an effective tax cost that can be significantly higher than the bracket suggests. This is where many well-intentioned Roth strategies quietly go off track. Medicare Premiums Change the Equation Taxes aren't the only cost that matters. Medicare income-related premium adjustments—often called IRMAA—are triggered when income crosses certain thresholds. These surcharges commonly appear in two situations: when required minimum distributions begin, and when one spouse passes away and income thresholds are suddenly cut in half. A Roth conversion that pushes income just over one of these lines can increase Medicare premiums for years. That added cost has to be weighed alongside any future tax savings the conversion might create. A Cautionary Roth Story This is where a real-world example brings the point home. I once worked with a woman to determine the right amount of Roth conversions to do. We carefully mapped out a plan to spread conversions over three tax years so she could stay within reasonable tax and Medicare thresholds. She was comfortable with the plan. The numbers made sense. We executed the first conversion near the end of the year and agreed to revisit the second one in January. But after our meeting, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Rather than following the plan, she converted everything at once. That single decision pushed her income from a moderate tax bracket into much higher ones, triggered additional Medicare premium costs, and permanently locked in taxes that were far higher than necessary. The intent was good. The outcome was not. The mistake wasn't believing in Roth conversions—it was assuming that “more” was always better. The Real Takeaway for 2026 and Beyond Roth conversions are not dead. But Roth assumptions are. Lower tax rates today don't automatically mean Roth conversions are cheap. A future tax increase isn't guaranteed. And a zero-tax retirement is not always worth the price paid to get there. Roth conversions should always be considered—but never assumed. When done thoughtfully, in the right amounts, and at the right times, they can improve retirement income and flexibility. When done without planning, they can quietly undermine both. And in retirement, the goal isn't to win a tax strategy.The goal is to create a better retirement.

In this episode of Retire with Style, hosts Alex Murguia and Wade Pfau discuss the launch of the third edition of the Retirement Planning Guidebook and respond to audience questions on tax planning and retirement strategy. They explain what's new in the latest edition, explore tax-efficient planning concepts including Roth conversions, and unpack key issues such as drawdown strategies and preferential income stacking. The conversation also touches on potential future tax changes, offering practical insights to help listeners make more informed retirement planning decisions.   Takeaways The third edition of the Retirement Planning Guidebook is shorter and more affordable. Tax maps are included in the new edition of the book. Roth conversions can be beneficial even if taxes are paid from an IRA. Preferential income stacking can significantly impact tax rates. Future tax legislation is uncertain, and planning should follow current laws. Blending distributions from different accounts can optimize tax efficiency. Roth conversions should be considered based on individual tax situations. Beneficiary considerations can influence the decision to convert to Roth IRAs. It's important to understand effective marginal tax rates for better planning. Avoid pulling money from IRAs to invest in taxable accounts.

1. Super Bowl & Cultural Commentary The discussion opens with dismissive reactions to the Super Bowl halftime show, particularly focusing on Bad Bunny. The Celebrity political signaling is a cultural backlash as exaggerated or performative. Cultural change is being pushed by elites rather than organically embraced. 2. California Tax Policy Critique California’s tax system punishes high earners and visiting performers, especially athletes. Example cited: NFL player bonuses allegedly being taxed at levels exceeding the bonus itself due to “duty day” rules. California is economically self-destructive, encouraging talent and businesses to leave the state. Texas and other low-tax states are contrasted as more economically rational alternatives. 3. “Follow the Money” – DEI & Philanthropy Mellon funding is: Promoting DEI-focused hiring Encouraging identity-based academic disciplines Influencing faculty pipelines from undergraduate fellowships through tenure-track positions This funding results in racial discrimination, ideological conformity, and activist scholarship, rather than academic merit. 4. Transformation of Higher Education Universities are depicted as having shifted from traditional scholarship toward activist-driven ideologies. Fields like military history or classical studies are framed as marginalized, while intersectional or abolitionist studies are favored. Philanthropic foundations are blamed for reshaping academia without democratic accountability. 5. Political Activism & Protest Funding Anti-ICE protests are described as organized, rehearsed, and financially backed, not grassroots. Protesters allegedly admit to being paid, reinforcing the claim that activism is professionally funded. This is framed as evidence of manufactured dissent and coordinated political agitation. 6. Virginia Governance & Immigration Policy Virginia’s Democratic leadership is accused of: Cutting cooperation with ICE Releasing criminal undocumented immigrants Advancing aggressive redistricting reforms These actions are framed as an “assault on democracy” and a warning sign ahead of future elections. There is no longer a meaningful distinction between moderate and radical Democrats. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

On this episode of Reaganism, Roger sits down with Henry Olsen, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center to discuss President Trump's proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget, highlighting its potential impact on US military capabilities and global commitments.
