That's the dumbest boomer take ever.

It's NOT a tax problem. It is a Federal spending problem.

The U.S. takes in more than $5 Trillion USD annually from the Federal Income Tax system alone. IF the spending could be cut below that level in any meaningful way, then we could begin to pay off the ~40 Trillion in debt at an accelerated pace.

It would paid down even faster if the mass deportations happen, and we use targeted trade tariffs against China, Mexico, and a few others.

Trump made BILLIONS from doing exactly that with China in 2016-2020.

I'm drinking reality, not Kool-Aid. You could use a few boots of it.

Sure, that's how he cut the nation dept. Oh yeah, he didn't

So thanks for confirming that Tariffs on China-Mexico generate insane amounts of income, which could be used to pay down our debt.

The bills presented usually have hundreds of different expenditures in them. Were you under the impression that republicans refused to pass a bill reducing gas taex? lol! The bill was full of democrat fuckery. Until we pass laws regulating bills, there will never be anything remotely fair.

Poor rural people don't want Bureau of Land management coming along and taking their land. So no ownder they fucking vote republican. Don't be stupid and naive.

uh... if its anything like aus. its absolutely not the 'poor rural people' voting that shit away.

its the city champagne liberals who keep 'talking on their behalf'

theres a reason australia was 90%+ NO on the racist vote, because the fuckin majority here IS conservative whether they admit it or not publically, and SAW THROUGH THE PROPAGANDA, the other 10% were all inner city liberal electorates and guess what? every state has ignored the 'no' on the federal referendum, and said 'yeah we doing it anyway'as per that 10% of voters ALL in the inner cities - and thats both sides of parliament attempting to outdo each other to fuck everyone else over.

i cant imagine the US would be any different.

These people really believe they're going to start getting some kind of a piece of the billionaires' money if they vote the right way. It's never going to happen. They'll use tax shelters, offshore accounts, set up shop somewhere else, carve out loopholes in the tax code for themselves. All that will happen is the middle class will get squeezed harder.

[ - ] Sal_180 [op] 0 points 8 monthsSep 1, 2024 09:44:44 ago (+0/-0)

Yeah, better not try.

End all social security now. Outlaw the legal crimes that allow billionaires to become billionaires.

Social security can never be the solution. Its dysgenic. Only a meritocracy is eugenic.

Pay workers based on the value of their work product and don’t let the central bank steal from them through defecit spending and inflation. Workers will become wealthier and can take care of their own elderly.

Everyone should take care of their own elderly family members how can it be better or cheaper for the economy if the government steals from workers on behalf of retirees and then returns less than 100% of the money to them. Its a scam.

And by the way, many of these folks on SS can still work. At my dad’s 55+ gated community they live high on the hog playing tennis all day and throwing parties and their government checks are 2 or 3 times bigger than any welfare queen’s.

Pay workers based on the value of their work product...

Lol, bit naieve. They'll pay the smallest amount possible or move those jobs abroad if they can. Have you been asleep for the last 70 years? This is how capitalism works.

i say exactly that in australia, especially when it comes to aboriginals. they get asked. point blank, are you australian? "No im aboriginal and do-" "No problems, you no longer qualify for the social benefits of being an Australian citizen, and you will now be deported to the newly formed state of Alice Springs. If you attempt to leave you will be trespassing on foreign territory and will be treated as an illegal entrant"

"Er... im Australian?" "Ok good no problems, thank you for acknowledging you will abide by Australian law, under which there is not "Two Laws" - all laws relevant to the Commonwealth and the States and Territories within are covered on Austlii. Have a nice day citizen"

"Uh... what?"

"Rape white sheila, get da strap brudda, shteal da shmoke, get da strap brudda, no walkabout, only Casuarina wid da resht of da family brudda"

"oh deadly bro yeah"
