Too evident but oh NOOO their brain couldn’t figure that out!?? How STUPID can they be!!?? Other departments will have the same problem!!!!! SURE!!! More planes CRASHING TOO! Poor people but oh noooo it’s not their fucking families!!!??
can't help but wonder if this is part of a plan to end federal income taxes, to be replaced with tariffs and sales taxes, essentially enacting the regressive restructuring long desired by the 1%.
That’s exactly what they want to do to the gov… gut it to create chaos. Then they want to implement yarvin’s plan ….… which is bizarre… cut the States into little countries and every ‘good politician’ gets a piece of it to be a DICTATOR of!
If they stop paying social security, what would be the rationale for continuing to collect FICA?
Of course, I realize they don't need an excuse, but it would be an opportunity for a payroll tax strike if some of the big employers (e.g. state governments) could be persuaded to participate.
Nothing they've done has been about "efficiency". Close all the parks so we lose billions in admittance fees? It's about destroying confidence in every agency so they can swoop in and say how much better they'd be run as "private".
Exactly this. National parks, schools, libraries, veterans services, social security - all of it. “See? The government can’t do all this! Let’s run it ‘like a business.’” Businesses aren’t democratic and anyone who has ever seen nepotism in action knows they’re often not meritocracies either.
If a President was trying to drive the country into bankruptcy and civil war what would they be doing differently than Trump?
Yeah, I can't think of anything either.
The entire Republican party is doing Putin's bidding.
I already filed my return bc I'm supposed to get a decent refund. I sent it via FedEx bc well, don't trust the postal service. I'll see if and when I get my refund. If they take away SS, I'll never file again. F#ck 'em.

To all anti-Fascists, racism and blind hatred has always and will always be apart of the fabric in certain spheres, but corruption is what makes it dangerous. For all looking to Bernie for leadership please understand. He's not a threat to corruption. I am. https://youtu.be/6DiFMv6uTxY?si=L88fK_Sc7FIAsSPv
If they take away our Social Security, I think everyone who collects or contributes to the program should stop paying taxes. Then there would be a serious shortfall for good ole trumpland.
They're not interested in tax revenue, there will be no money left for the majority of the population to pay taxes. No jobs, no paycheques, no medications, no food - unless you are paying homage to the dictator.
They will let you have just enough to survive, and you'd better say thank you.
Rates of IRS audits have always been low, and the rates of voluntary tax compliance have always been high. Rich people have the most to gain by cheating, but they were also more likely to be audited. But now that we have a proud tax cheat as president, why should the rich guys worry?
Sure and why wouldn't we all say.. Why should I pay just like my new thing is... Obey be a good citizen bullshit laws when the S called poes doesn't. I'm fucking 71 and never never dies obeyed any rules or laws. I've never even had a ticket.... I'm rethinking it now
But really, no taxation without representation. I'm not paying my taxes this year. Period. I expect the IRS to fold before I'm audited. I absolutely do this as a form of revolt, and I think others should, too. Why would anyone pay into this government right now?
Everyone is carrying on about "let's not get violent." Okay then. Let's not. But let's use every tool at our disposal. I don't believe anyone can argue to me in good faith why I should pay my taxes beyond "because you'd go to jail." Yep. I'll go to jail. I'll go to jail because I'm trans first.
I think the Tesla protests are great. But beyond that, what are we doing, as citizens, that is applying pressure to the government itself? I mean real, tangible pressure. We need more strikes. We need to cut off the flow of money. Protests annoy. But we need to cause tangible pain to powerholders.
This country has long chanted the mantra "no taxation without representation," but we pay our taxes and yet shoot our children and don't bat an eye. Let that sink in.
In re going to jail for nonpayment of taxes, considering that Judge Boasberg has been unable to get the dictatorship to comply, it is clear that we have become a prison nation, and these deporations are tantamount to transfer to solitary confinement. A couple of weeks ago, I was volunteering
as part of an adopt-a-road crew, and it occurred to me that if I was a prisoner, I would be doing this. How was my life any different? Forced to work to eat. Forced to live in minimalistic conditions because I can't afford more despite a lifetime of work. Inside or outside of a facility, it's jail.
The people who will be cheating are those at the top. I also saw something about how DOJ is no longer requiring shell corps to disclose the owners (I have not confirmed this yet). Given all of his acts this far, it is clear that Trump is fostering an environment where corruption will flourish.
Billionaires avoid taxes with less IRS staff.
That’s 10% less revenue on their behalf.
GOP will make cuts but do we know where?
Obviously Social Security, Medicaid & Medicare.
as an estate admin atty can’t tell you how dreadful it already is to try to get information or various issues resolved and done with the IRS that is already severely underfunded and understaffed. now it is going to be impossible.
Because they want to cause the shuttering of the government as we know it now and then remake it in some other way - this is Heritage Foundation and Elon Musk/TechBros.
I was wondering why you had to "think a lot about it" when it is instantly obvious. In addition, the audits that bring in the most revenue won't be done because the wealthy citizens require more time and manpower, no funding for that now.
My wife is preparing our taxes and I read the story and said, “Honey, stop! They’re not going to audit us. They don’t have any agents! Promises made, promises kept, nation screwed.”
It’s never been about efficiency. It’s tearing down the US strength, security, economy, health and education for the benefit of the tinpot war criminal and allow the uberrich to pick up assets cheap
The basis for adding auditors was increased collections, primarily from the wealthy. Even a rocket surgeon like Trump or Musk can see what removing them does. W2 folks get screwed - again.
That's true, and when he kicks a million immigrants out of the country who pay taxes, that will cut into revenue even more. But, hey, he's going to get a million people to pay $5 million to become citizens, won't that be a wash. 🤣
And they are going to give ICE addresses of immigrants that pay taxes and SS to have my them down for deportation. Will deplete $25.7 billion alone from SS.
And here’s a message to anyone who uses a tax accountant. When your accountant needs to ask the IRS a question and no one answers the phone for an hour guess who’s going to pay for that time spent on hold?
The government works because tax revenue is collected. No revenue coming into the treasury will collapse the economy, the debt markets and eventually the country. Not sure how many brain cells exist in trump’s administration to understand this simple concept.

What will they do about it? 🤔
What CAN they do about it?
THEY WANT TO ELIMINATE PROGRESSIVE INCOME TAX AND WILL GET RID OF THE IRS ENTIRELY IF NECESSARY!
It's thier white whale.
I have been yelling this for a long time, but I'm nobody.
They’ll be taxed at 80% in the future because we’ve come to despise
We the People have the power in this democracy
They’re fucked by their own greed

This will just make it harder for people to get their tax refunds.

Not sure 🤔 f I want to continue paying in the future. I have ZERO representation in Utah
🤪
Unfortunately it's only billionaires who won't be scrutinized.
1) devalue the dollar because it is being forced to pay taxes with fiat currency that gives it value
2) increase the power of the rich (their goal)
cut to shareholders high-fiving on the golf course
Tariffs are to extort and break alliances.
And a very few super well fed trillioniares. :)
