Billionaires like Elon Musk.

Wait, I thought DOGE wants to cut the deficit?

Except it has always made sense for tax collectors to focus on those investigations that promise the most revenue for the least amount of effort. So in that spirit, they would have to focus on the biggest fish now. If they were serious.

Also, shouldn’t fellow billionaires and the rich be up in arms that one Nazi billionaire is getting access to all their tax information??

As cost cutting is their primary priority

Someone needs to do an immediate cost analysis
On how much
This unmatched narcissistic imbecilic

Burgermeister Meisterburger
Fauxliday would cost each and every one of us

They wanted to defund the IRS
For a long time

They turned the IRS hiring new agents
To replace those who had retired or had left

Into a battle cry

Exactly like when Trump said
COVID deaths would be lower

IF
WE
JUST
STOPPED
COUNTING

The nothing to see here policy
Is only good for those who cheat

There is no doubt in my mind that trump and President musk will order the IRS not to audit or even think about looking at their billionaire friends tax returns.

Sincere question, how many people, who voted for him, have been layed off in the purge? How do they feel? What do they say?

I would love to know this too. The Trmpers I know haven't had any negative consequences yet.

pjrod.bsky.social•4 days ago

Can you please explain the reasons that you are hearing for the proposed tax benefits to the wealthiest 1% in our nation. The trickle down doesn’t and they are already insanely rich.

coltsfanrick.bsky.social•7 days ago

Thank you for keeping your message out of the reach of Trump supporters.

I’m sure we’re gonna just continue the status quo by not actually trying to reach the people that are being misinformed by Republicans.

Whoever thought of this plan in the Dem Party needs to be fired & never allowed back.

The news is reporting that every time musk and his muskets go into a govt department they're in there for a very short period of time. They're not auditing anything that takes time. They brought programmers in and what those people are doing is opening a back door so they can do the work elsewhere

When we’re wealthy “taxpayers” NOT avoiding paying taxes?

axiomveritas.bsky.social•7 days ago

As taxes on the wealthy decrease, the capital they retain might not flow back into the broader economy. This can reduce demand, stifle business growth, and increase failures. Wealth concentration could weaken economic resilience, creating a cycle where inequality drives instability and stagnation.

gigisrn.bsky.social•8 days ago

So, we, poor people, don’t need to file taxes right?

amockingbird.bsky.social•8 days ago

If you’re poor, you’re more likely to get audited.

Great, now that we'll millions unemployed tax revenue will drop significantly, in addition to losing the billions immigrants paid.

Trump and Elon want to both be the Godfathers of the world, but one must step aside to lay in bed with the horse head.

henrymnnotary.bsky.social•8 days ago

the IRS stepped up activity specifically on 1,600 individuals whose incomes were more than $1 million per year and who each owed the IRS more than $250,000 in recognized tax debt. Since last fall, this IRS compliance effort has generated more than $1 billion in collections from this group.

Pretty sure every American can sue the IRS now.

No one is going to file their taxes.

If they don’t have to pay taxes why should the rest of us pay our taxes. We the people should go on strike with our taxes.

jarom64.bsky.social•8 days ago

The rich create rules that give themselves loopholes to avoid paying taxes

The same people who benefits from the closing of the Klepto-Capture Task Force

Undermining the entire government. They want to take it all down, so tech folks can rule the world. (Not joking. Check out Peter Thiel's Ted Talks. It's their dream -- a world of tech centers and crypto currency.)

There are peoplethat pay their share of taxes. They bend their charitable donations by $50.00, not thousands. They may bend their losses by a hundred
dollars. They may take time to pay their bills and put in the extra hours to do so after a scum claims six bankruptcies on them. That's it.

swanlake4622.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hmmm, shouldn’t all Congressional representatives have known this was planned after reading Project 2025. What is your strategy?

dog-pdx.bsky.social•7 days ago

We Americans elected a boatload of corrupt Republicans that are bellying up to the bar to get what they think is their due. Until we address those individuals, we have no strategy.

Thank you, @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co. Keep fighting for us. We've got your back and are ready to fight right along with you.

they say “rah rah tear it all down” but what they really mean is “we want to ensure we have more benefits and advantages than we ALREADY HAVE in order to run roughshod over US citizens”
