abolishing income tax

[QChawks]

I know Trump says a lot of things, but this one is hard to phantom

Would the plan to be raise tariffs so much to cover the trillons lost?

Or just the tax the shit out of things we purchase instead?

He doesn't have a plan. He just says shit.

His "idea" is that tariffs can fund our entire government.

This is easily as stupid as making Mexico pay for the wall.

Hard to fathom?

Is this a WOB?

Sometimes he just says things to trigger the D's.

It obviously works.

Unless we make competing products domestically (which we mostly do not) tariffs are a tax on the shit we purchase.

And it makes the gullible crap their britches. Works with the idiot class every single time.

 

[WadeLookingbill]

Trump is a "grown up" version of the awkward middle school student government candidate who guarantees vending machines in every classroom and Taco Bell in the lunchroom. He's never going to actually do this stuff of course, just talks a lot hoping he gets a handjob someday from his MAGA friends who love that he's "trolling" his constituents.

Monkey shit fights at the zoo are more organized than Trump.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Income tax is theft

then it would be theft to use the things government provides.

You sound like a fan of monkey shit fights.

There are so many people who are fully against giving the government any money . . . yet at the same time willing to take stimulus, child tax credit EIC ect. The mental hurdles needed to get from one stance to another is mind boggling. Other than individuals only want to take, not pay their fair share anymore.

You just described his voting base perfectly.

I bet investments would be heavily taxed. It's gotta be made up somewhere

Real estate, luxury goods, VATs like in Europe (makes sales tax look like child's play).

I’m fine with paying federal and state but to tax me because I have a job is bullshit

 

[noleclone2]

People, people. Everyone calm down and step back for a second and remember that we are in the concept of a plan phase right now.

He did try to overturn the ACA without a replacement.

LOL. How do you suggest basing tax on?

 

[Hammerhead02]

Income tax is federal and state.

 

[goldmom]

I don’t think that it’s a bad thing to ask all of us to throw some money in the pot, so to speak.
I’d just seriously appreciate it if we could require the folks in charge of the pot to spend said money in that pot more wisely on our behalf.

Really? You think they are going to up taxes on investments?!? No chance. I imagine they will try floating a federal sales idea that will get the lower and middle class that number in the several hundreds of millions to shoulder much more of the tax burden. What could be more fair than that?

i don't know how you can look at the new administration and - with a straight face - think they'll be on board with increased taxes on investments

Your response makes zero sense.

If they tax investment income the middle class would be in deeper doo doo than we already are.
Please tell me you have a 401/IRA and you understand that? If you don’t you (and half this phucking board of leftist nitwits and foreign trolls) are just flat ass dummies.

Income tax is theft

Libertarian dogma that wants to remove funding from society to create economic fascism.

There’s a shocker

In general, 99% of all payments are pretty locked in. The stimulus and handouts I think should be stopped (including student debt). Mostly republicans say this, and then when you get down to the nitty gritty, they realize there isn't a lot to argue about.

Forget to take your Prevage’s today?

 

[10kHawk]

I’m for a robot tax, wealth gap is our biggest problem

 

[MitchLL]

Gonna be a long four years or however long it takes for Trump to die.

Republicans =Trash

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

I prefer a tax system that's heavily weighted on consumption and less so on property and income.

 

[goldmom]

Forget to take your Prevage’s today?

Oh you mean Prevagen? Nice try hon.
I don’t bother. That would mean I need it to argue with a foreign troll. Eeew.
Now go away.

When can we expect a new saying?
Sooo curious!

What is the 'fair share'?
Per capita?
Would it be in proportion to one's earnings?
