Like I said, income taxes.
Do wealthy Americans pay enough in taxes? While some lawmakers propose raising taxes on the United States’ highest earners to help fund other initiatives or reduce the federal deficit, there are questions as to how much progress that might yield or if tax law could be targeted more effectively.
Whether the rich and wealthy pay their “fair share” is a subjective question but government data shows that they do pay the most in volume. For tax year 2021, the most recent available data, the top 1% of earners paid nearly 46% of taxes, according to an analysis by the National Taxpayers Union, a nonprofit that favors lower taxes and a simpler code.
The top 5% pay more than 65% of federal income taxes, the highest 10% pay 75% of them and the top 25% are accountable for 89%. The bottom half of earners, who make below $46,627 a year, paid just 2% of federal personal income tax, according to the report.
So how much do the rich actually pay in taxes?

They can’t touch social security with budget reconciliation, so will be interesting to see what they do. I suppose they could eliminate income tax on tips and overtime potentially, but they won’t be able to eliminate the 6.2% social security tax for the employee or employer.
I think they can probably eliminate income tax on social security as part of reconciliation, but democrats will challenge it because it’s Trump.
They may need to start the “no income tax on tips” messaging, because nothing is happening outside of the reconciliation process.
I would assume MAGA people (I am one myself) would be pretty pissed about anybody spending money on DEI.
The gap between richest & poorest here continues to grow because the poorest don't care that they're poor. They either spend every penny or choose not to make anything. So everyone else moves further ahead of them. Me, I don't care that they're poor either. It's a conscious choice. Even as far as the bottom 10% here go, they can get so many bennies that they're still better off than same group most anywhere else.
Needs to do the same with the Noachide laws in a bill that GHWBush signed in 1991n as the laws are unconstitutional

Well, dig deep into your OWN pockets and send a bunch of money to help, or STFU.
This will all balloon the deficit further. MAGA doesn't GAS.
Will be fun to see how much power Trump has over Congress Pubs. Delicious in fact.
haha Dem senators did an all-night protest of *checks notes* Russ Vought? Who has already held the same position under Trump the first time.
This is going to be a long, long bitter 4 years for the Dems.
The actual response from the Trump team:

Were they were lied to when they signed up that that's what they'd get?
BTW, 30 years service gets 75% of base pay. Should those who served 20 years get more than them?
BTW, those %'s are of the average of their highest paid three years of service, not based on their whole careers' pay levels.
It has never been more clear that the federal government needs to implement zero based budgeting.
All federal spending needs to drop to zero, any spending going forward can be justified on its own.

Further proof, you only get enraged based on who does itCongress controls the purse.... Not the executive branch.
So now Trump is getting rid of waste of taxpayer dollars in one agency and creating another. 🤡
Trump to create religious office in White House, target 'anti-Christian bias'
(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he would create a White House faith office and direct Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead a task force on eradicating what he called anti-Christian bias within the federal government. Trump delivered remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast...www.yahoo.com

Such a passive aggressive child.
A Maga conservative is ending it!
I think they mean the Trump tax cuts that are set to expire. Those need to be renewed
Mikey,
Single taxpayer making over $626,350 pays 37% fed tax of each dollar of ordinary income over this amount. 37% seems like a painfully high rate to me. When you add state and local taxes, this could be as high as 40%.
I’m happy we are focusing on wasteful spending now.
I was a kid with kids back then. Didn't have a clue what was happening with government and didn't care. Too damn busy raising a family.Further proof, you only get enraged based on who does it

Like the mine Clinton allowed to be sold to the Russians during the Obama administration?
Yeah the judges have no idea about the laws but you do. 🤣
C'mon Bill.... At least say something that makes a tiny bit of sense.
294 people to coordinate the distribution of food and medicine around the world. Awesome.
It's weird to think but maybe the choice is made before conception... that taking the chance on conceiving for a little excitement today is worth the risk of decades of responsibility? Don't know where that thought came from...
That would be first on the list. He and his son. POS. Both of them.
Biden’s government paid Gallup for false or favorable polls, it appears.
How can this not be worth prison?
This whole mess is so big that it’s impossible to even know where to begin administering justice.

Yeah, a district court judge has never been overturned on appeal. Jesus Christ you’re stupid.
So, if you never click on said sites, such as X, how do you know for certain that they are nutty sites full of crap?
We don't believe you, Village Idiot.
90% of your nonsense sounds like what Margaret from Facebook posted. And you then come here to screech it out, like a retarded toddler, that it was your career and life to babysit.
Makes sense, actually.
Actually, I’m well aware of how diversified their portfolios are. It could be paranoia, but I think my concerns are just. For starters, future monopolies will be easier to create with this consolidation of wealth, especially since the courts haven’t had the teeth to bust them in recent time.
Something affecting the middle class now is housing. Starter homes are going for 200k plus in Stanford and Lancaster. There’s an LLC based out of Toronto that owns 70k starter homes in the US.
Middle class was responsible for 62% of income (which I realize is different that assets) in 1970. Upper class was 29%.
Middle class now is 43% and upper class is 48%. Is the upper 10% just that much more productive now?
Middle class used to have twice the wealth as the 1% thirty years ago. Now the top 1% own more than all of middle class combined.
So I appreciate anyone that can answer this, but why are republicans not concerned about the trend? Why can’t democrats and republicans work together to strengthen our middle class again? Is DOGE alone enough to balance this out? What else would you guys recommend?
The top 1% of American earners now own more wealth than the entire middle class
More than one-quarter of all household wealth, 26.5%, belongs to the super rich, and their wealth is growing.

Dude, have you ever been to a Sam's club or Costco?
I can assure you, the food stamps are flying out the door.
Hell, half of the small business owners who shop there use the food stamp cards of their patrons, who trade them for smokes and booze, etc, for cents on the dollar to the Bodega owner.
Imo that fake polling was to cover up the cheating. They maybe got 25% of the vote. Maybe. The rest is completely fake. Thats why they needed the fake everything so people wouldn't question.
Given Hollywood's insanity, is there any doubt usaid funded them too? They had to know noone would watch woke trainwrecks like the female Ghostbusters etc. No way they make that crap unless theyre backstopped.
😅
i hope the dems do challenge eliminating ss income tax = another nail in the coffin
Good to see you are against checks and balances.... Almost as nice to see that comment as your one this morning when you indicated everyone in the DC area should have their property seized and then they would have to prove they got their income for legitimate sources. Guilty until proven innocent!!!!
