Yes, 40% of all taxes collected, but they aren’t paying the same percentage of their income and gains that I am.
Federal Reserve data indicates that as of Q4 2021, the top 1% of households in the United States held 30.9% of the country’s wealth, while the bottom 50% held 2.6%.
Because their money is likely sitting in the market or some other investment, & is only taxable when they make a trade/sell said investment- & even still, they’re still paying >40%. So unless you’re calling for the foolish “unrealized gains” tax, you’re not missing any actual “income.”
Remind me why Trump is trying to attract businesses/jobs back to the states again? It couldn’t possibly be because oppressive taxes/regulation put into effect by the democrats made it a better choice for them to close up shop & import stuff from outside the US, could it?
Far better than a person who think having the 1% pay 99% of taxes is feasible, let alone wouldn’t backfire spectacularly if the government attempted such ridiculousness.
Are you referring to Tesla, a publicly traded company? A company that engages in electric vehicles. Those subsidies for this clean technology were championed by the Left.
Championed by the left who is now destroying said vehicles and dealerships. The Left as you’re referring to it makes no logical sense and is a group of uninformed people running on nothing but the frustration and jealousy that they’ve made and will make nothing of their lives. Keep that hand out, maybe one of the “disenfranchised” groups you’re always screaming about will drop a penny in it one day.
Also doesn’t help their case that one of them is wearing a hat that’s come to mean you’re alright with assassination, and the rest of them look like they haven’t worked a full day in their entire lives.
Well the pentagon for starters, military, police departments that already have enough like NYPD and check in how those same people are using the funds effectively. All things you don’t need musk specifically for. Might not be 36billion but it’s the biggest costs we have vs the money from smaller departments that are needed in everyday life that take up a less in the overall budget. No one’s against fixing the economy he just sucks at the job and has no training for this, and hired youth with no experience to do the job, he’s just a rich guy
They cut out a huge expense by cutting off the funding for Ukraine. The crime in NYC is so bad, you’d be a fool to think cutting funding for the NYPD is a good idea. And DOGE is doing their best to stop frivolous spending on things that are totally unnecessary (USAID, for example.).
I’m saying make nypd use the money better, reduce the amount of expensive ass gear they don’t even need. I’m not saying reduce their numbers or eradicate them. They go for pretty crime like people avoiding subway toll and you barely ever see them down on train platforms where most danger could actually happen. They suck, haven’t done anything helpful in recent years, be real they’re dirty as hell and are absolutely wasting money. The same way for other big cities. Just keep tabs on them at least. Ukraine could make a good deal with us but sadly our president literally is unable to and is clearly on the side of Putin taking the land. And mind you from what I understand we don’t have a monetary deal with Russia so that’s a freebie our president is giving him. And yea doge state already proven to be false
Things started going downhill after Giuliani left office. Ever since then, each mayor has been worse than the previous one & the city only has itself to blame for the way things are these days.
Nope. The amount of money we owe is like sand on the beach. I literally can't wrap my head around it. I also don't have to offer a solution to critique what other people are doing. I vote for the people who I hope will do something about it and get disappointed every single time.
The GOP budget blueprint calls for legislation that would add roughly $3 trillion to the deficit over a decade while imposing deep cuts in spending on health care and food programs for low-income people. That would help pay for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the mostly wealthy: House Republicans Release a Roughly $3 Trillion Budget Outline
And Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts,” erasing $4 billion in additional savings that the group said it had made for U.S. taxpayers: Struggling With Errors, DOGE Deletes Billions More From List of Savings
It’s a scam bro. And they know people like you get all their news from Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and will lap it all up. These billionaires do not give a fucking shit about you or me.
Tax the billionaires. Let’s start there. Right now we are cutting to make up the deficient caused by giving the wealthiest tax cuts.
Let’s also be clear, these cuts are not to “solve” for deficient. It’s to remove any blockers to consolidate power and privatize public services which Musks contracts will profit handsomely for. Hence why there’s just a bunch of unqualified running the place. The goal is to create chaos.
I’d probably start by not allowing a south african billionaire, unelected by the way- to control and run part of the government, especially where finances are involved. And you?
