Carried interest is at the top of that.You’re either a complete idiot or too poor to pay enough taxes to realize what the current Trump tax cuts did for the Middle Class. I have said several times and will say again that I saved over $2500 the first year it went into effect. I did all the calculations vs the old Obama tax rates using the exact same figures. It absolutely was a tax break for everyone and not just the billionaires. Dems know how stupid their base is and get away with this BS every single time. Can’t wait to hear them explain why they think no tax on tips and SSI is going going to hurt the lower and middle classes. Am sure they will and their sheep will believe every word of it. Meanwhile, I do not see them fighting to close all the loopholes their wealthy donors continue to use to pay as little as possible.
If true.... The level of grift is disgusting.
If the inheritance is big enough, I'd think they'd prefer being off Medicaid vs. spending every last dime.Different variation of the same theme: if a medicaid recipient comes into any money that exceeds their cap, they can spend it all before the next month and retain Medicaid.
So if they get an inheritance, personal injury settlement, or any other "windfall", they literally go on a spending spree instead of using that money to improve their circumstances.
The good thing from this is that I can lower my tips & they're still ahead.If income should be taxed, tips should be taxed. But I’m not going to get mad that some people grinding for tips are (legally) not paying taxes if they change the law.
I’d rather see more income escape taxation.
It isn't just about Dollar General. This will ripple through the entire corporate food economy. Campbells Soups didn't change their name for no reason. They have shifted their focus to snack foods because the market it so rich.We’re supposed to subsidize dollar general with our taxes while making poor people fatter?
Where do you get this kind of thinking?
Besides, dollar general can sell fresher foods. I’ve seen it at the ones near me. I would be MUCH HAPPIER if the money that I work for could only be used to get fresh food for welfare recipients.
This is common sense.
The 4th option is that they’re just not telling the truth. After all, what kind of idiot would admit in 2025 to ever being a Democrat?How can somebody claim to have been a Bush/McCain Republican and now left-leaning in the current political climate? The only people who are like that either 1) had their grift upended by Trump or the Tea Party; 2) experienced personal trauma and are just mad at the world (i.e. a bad divorce); or 3) realized that they're not straight (double whammy if it was the reason for the divorce).
No matter what the reason is, going left is a sign of distress and maybe a call for help. Perhaps reach out to somebody you can talk to about it. Seriously.
Yes. The lobbyists for soda and snack producers have killed every attempt at this before, make no mistake. And yes the value of Coca-Cola shares may go down.It isn't just about Dollar General. This will ripple through the entire corporate food economy. Campbells Soups didn't change their name for no reason. They have shifted their focus to snack foods because the market it so rich.
I'm fine with this move, however, and wish more states and even the FED would follow suit. It's time to end corporate welfare. That just might help improve the health of this countries population and drive down health costs.
Might also stop crap like this:
- 100% of Girl Scout cookies contained glyphosate, controversial herbicide in Roundup- 88% contain toxic metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury- Key finding Thin Mints had the highest glyphosate levels, levels at 111.07 PPB. This is 334 TIMES what experts say is harmful - Peanut Butter Patties had the highest heavy metal contamination with lead reaching 42.5 PPB and aluminum at 27,500 PPB- 76% of cookies tested exceeded cadmium safety limits- 96% contained lead
To be fair, Bush and McCain might as well have been democrats. It isn't that far of a stretch to think some of these people just jumped off the cliff and into the abyss.How can somebody claim to have been a Bush/McCain Republican and now left-leaning in the current political climate? The only people who are like that either 1) had their grift upended by Trump or the Tea Party; 2) experienced personal trauma and are just mad at the world (i.e. a bad divorce); or 3) realized that they're not straight (double whammy if it was the reason for the divorce).

Given that they're liberals, more like a gay couple.Like father, like son.
The good thing from this is that I can lower my tips & they're still ahead.
Dude Speaker Johnson has already come out and said they are paying for this with cuts and savings from Medicaid. Ain't no way they get that from Medicaid without screwing the poor and middle class.
All this DOGE and promised cuts is nothing but BS smoke and mirrors to give Billionaires more tax cuts.
It is going to absolutely blow up the deficit.
Even the rep from Ky.... Massie... Didn't vote for it for that reason alone. I can't stand Massie.... But he is spot on with his refusal to support this bankruptcy down payment.
There is just not enough waste, fraud and abuse to support the spending and loss of tax revenue period!
If income should be taxed, tips should be taxed.
Brother, chillWe’re supposed to subsidize dollar general with our taxes while making poor people fatter?

I don't believe they were really expecting results in a month, they are just looking for excuses to complain about Trump to validate their TDS.Trump has been in office a little more than a month, and liberals are expecting a year's worth of results, completely ignoring the immediate results from the border, wasteful spending, Ukraine/Russia, billion dollar investments from companies, protecting women's sports, and so forth.
Never mind the initial cleanup that he's had to deal with from the numerous F'ups by Biden. It is quite amazing what we are witnessing.
If the inheritance is big enough, I'd think they'd prefer being off Medicaid vs. spending every last dime.
dammit! my 2 favorites!!- 100% of Girl Scout cookies contained glyphosate, controversial herbicide in Roundup- 88% contain toxic metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury- Key finding Thin Mints had the highest glyphosate levels, levels at 111.07 PPB. This is 334 TIMES what experts say is harmful - Peanut Butter Patties had the highest heavy metal contamination with lead reaching 42.5 PPB and aluminum at 27,500 PPB- 76% of cookies tested exceeded cadmium safety limits- 96% contained lead
They remind me of the drowning man. You swim out to save him but he thrashes and fights instead of doing what he should and drowns you both.I don't believe they were really expecting results in a month, they are just looking for excuses to complain about Trump to validate their TDS.
Its almost like it takes a little time to correctly prepare and file lawsuits, especially from those that were blindsided by the USAID Pearl Harbor.Remember when, after they took out usaid, it took a week to file the first suit? Now its daily and all going to crooked judges.
They should've seized that moment of surprise where they cut off the head. Instead they let the beast reroute and reform. Now an already insanely tough job just got tougher.
The economy is going to crash because of these clowns. Just a matter of time.Stop supporting all the waste fraud and grift, and Medicaid can be paid for.
Just because you democrats are dead set on stealing all the money you can’t hand out through welfare doesn’t mean we should crush the middle class with taxes.
Don’t forget Hunter attended also.
MAGA Merica.
Calm down. It's for the greater good. Isn't that what you lefties are always yelling? Now it's your turn.You're an idiot if you think middle class people are not affected by Medicaid cuts.
Magays, oh wow.Doge will find savings, but they’re gonna misrepresent so much other stuff it’s going to devalue their real finds.
So far the biggest churn has been “payments to Nancy pelosis vineyard” with no citation and is just rage engagement bait for the MAGAys.
But those drinking koolaid with being open to critique will claim it’s all big conspiracy.
Poisoning the well is a logical fallacy.Doge will find savings, but they’re gonna misrepresent so much other stuff it’s going to devalue their real finds.

Well since NASA can't get our astronauts back, somebody has to do it.

Thought Obama ended up doing an OK job ultimately. Voted for him the 2nd time.How can somebody claim to have been a Bush/McCain Republican and now left-leaning in the current political climate?

Has never been true in history.Will also increase the national debt.
