B-Man Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 There has perhaps never been a dumber national obsession than the one that has existed over Donald Trump’s tax returns. Despite the IRS having had all of them over the decades, the press and its Democrat allies have long convinced themselves that Trump was illegally colluding with foreign nations and cheating on his taxes. They continued to hold that belief despite multiple audits of the former president over the years. Apparently, we were all supposed to believe that the IRS (the same IRS that targeted conservatives under Barack Obama) was actually a right-wing front group protecting Trump at all costs. In other words, the accusations about Trump’s taxes were always nonsensical and ridiculous. Sure enough, House Democrats have released its report on the matter (and have voted to release the actual returns). Get a load of this bombshell. Wait, do you mean to tell me that Trump’s financial fortunes went up or done depending on what year it was? And that he didn’t pay income taxes in the years that his losses outpaced his gains? What a shocking turn of events. We better spend the next week of the news cycle on this, pretending that it’s a major scandal. The long and short of this is that Trump did absolutely nothing outside the bounds of the current tax system. One could argue the current tax system sucks and benefits the ultra-wealthy. I might even agree, but that’s not what we were promised. We were promised Russian collusion and reams of fraud. Where is it? Naturally, the press will still act as if this is all major news, but it’s decidedly not. Trump not releasing his taxes was always about simply tweaking the left because they demanded them. Had they shut up, he might have released them a long time ago. But the moment they made it a crusade, Trump was never going to give in. That’s just not his style. Now, hundreds of years of precedent have been broken, with a private citizen’s tax returns being seized and released by congressional partisans for no other reason than to embarrass them. There was no legitimate legislative or investigative role here. And they did that for what? To show us that Trump uses the tax code like every other businessman? https://redstate.com/bonchie/2022/12/21/report-on-trump-tax-returns-has-been-released-heres-the-big-bombshell-the-press-is-obsessing-over-n676713 . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why smart rich people use investments for income. You can harvest losses to offset gains. You pay capital gains taxes which are typically lower than ordinary income. And they also don’t pay FICA and SDI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really have a hard time figuring these politicians & their voters out i remember back before the Pandemic in 2019 which was a year that i made more money than i ever have in my entire life, while construction was running wild, unemployment was very low amongst all nationalities, & the country was humming along . I had a friend of mine that was not only working the same job i do but also had a second job making money faster than he could cash the checks but would literally sit & tell me how TERRIBLE the economy was because of his bias & hatred for the then POTUS . What ever is the exact opposite of what is happening they think is what is good and that just boggles my little p brain I know i'm no Einstein but if it's raining & your outside with out a umbrella your going to get wet but this guy would say not if you run fast enough that is their logic . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I’m not a big fan of a national sales tax but mostly because the advertised price of everything would be a downright confusing mess. Would it impact stock investment? I guess so, but that’s way down on my list of concerns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Since 50% of people don't earn enough to pay income tax , a 30% federal sales tax would make them homeless. What a great republican idea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 14 hours ago, nedboy7 said: do we have a choice? Wtf does that mean. Huh? No, you don’t have a choice. The point is that sales tax has become built into the American taxation system, and we are all very accustomed to paying it. It is however ‘only’ a small percentage add-on to the price of goods. Adding on 30% for a national income tax will be a much harder adjustment for Americans…which is one of the reasons why I don’t support it. As another example, many countries in Europe don’t tip waiters. The price is just built into the menu. They’re accustomed to that pricing. In all of these examples you pay the same amount in the end. It’s just the system you’re accustomed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
