How do you feel about having 30% ripped off of your paycheck each week?

So I was on a wonderful date with this Russian lady tall and beautiful. How about that a woman who is about 5 foot 10 blonde hair she’s just incredible. But she was saying that in the European countries and that in Russia they get about 13% taken out of their paycheck each week. And they also get four weeks vacation. But when she is working here in America for her German company she only gets two weeks vacation.

This is totally unacceptable Joe Biden said he’s gonna lower the taxes where is he? People should have to pay maybe 5 to 10% taxes each week. Because you want to know why ? Bc were the best country in the world and America leads.

And before anyone can say anything I am a republican voter. I am a democrat but I almost much always vote Republican so I’m with you guys I’m with the Patriots. I’m going to vote for Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis in 2024. So don’t get upset with me folks. But how does it feel and I don’t know how it feels because I’m a ….poker player and I make my own money I do my own thing I invest my own money. But I am concerned about my fellow Americans who are getting ripped off. They only get two weeks vacation(if that some of those communist companies in America don’t even give out any vacation ….the criminals) they had to pay 30% taxes each week on their checks what a shit hole what a shit hole performance by our politicians …wasn’t like this in the past my friends. When the people worked in the past in the American past they made a lot more money.

God bless America and we will get better we just have to work hard at it.

I'm understanding the tax thing less and less over the years. Why do we tax people at all? I mean we have spent 32 trillion dollars more than the tax revenues coming in so what is the purpose of taxation anyway when we spend more than the taxes collected? And, every time democrats want to tax the rich more, it isn't to pay down on the 32 trillion dollars we've borrowed, it is so we can spend even more money. Democrats seem to believe that the debt doesn't matter because we have a fiat currency and never have to pay down the debt, only make interest payments on the debt. So, I ask again, why tax people at all? Why don't we just charge 100% of our expenses on to the nation's charge card and forget taxes altogether?

At least when Trump was in office it was a lot easier for the American family to buy a house at a 2.2% interest rate on a home mortgage loan… which is now over 6 1/2% what a disaster.

My good man, you need a history lessen, lol.

STEEL FIRMS GO IN THE CRAPPER. WHY?----------------> Main reason was, CAFE standards. Huh, you say! Yes, it is true! When the stringent CAFE standards came in and increased, most vehicles were built almost Soley out of steel. They had to lighten cars up to meet the ever rising standards, so enter plastics, unibody construction, and vehicles shrinking. Rolled steel to the auto industry has dropped significantly since the late 70s, even as new vehicle sales have risen.

AUTO MANUFACTURERS NOWHERE NEAR PEEK EMPLOYMENT-------------> Lotsa reasons. 1. Ever hear of robotics! Ford, Chicago Assembly had 3200 workers; hourly and salary running 2 shifts in 1973, meaning over 1600 per shift, building 52 vehicles an hr, running 10 hrs per shift on both shifts before the economy collapsed. In 2020, total plant employment was around 1000, running 2 shifts, building 74 vehicles per hour.
2. AIR QUALITY STANDARDS! Seems to build a NEW vehicle plant and put the smokestack tech in to pass state and fed standards, is CHEAPER than retro fitting old plants. (why, I do not know) This is why all OLD Ford plants had their states offer massive tax incentives to stay put, to help pay for the smoke stack retro fit. Problem was, they didn't need all the old plants, since with the increase of production of almost 1/3 with modern tech, they could close many of them, streamlining their operation. When they did build NEW plants, they built them in South America. Why? Many reasons, but one that is pertinent is------->those countries didn't force them to install the new, expensive, smoke stack tech! And so, the union lost all of its cache, as the auto industry shrank in employment numbers.

BECAUSE I WAS IN THE INDUSTRY OVER 30 YEARS, PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK ME WHY AUTOS ARE SO HIGH! Forgetting that auto companies are greedy for a moment, let me tell all of a tidbit------------> The last meeting I attended was somewhere around 2006, so this has certainly gotten worse! At that meeting, they had a power point presentation that showed how much the price of each vehicle was INCREASED by having to meet government regulations, from CAFE standards on down. At that time, the price tag was 7200 and change. No, I did NOT mis type that; it was seventy two hundred, and change! This is exactly why marketshare is sooooooooo important to auto manufacturers. The more units they can sell, the more units they can spread the costs of these regulations or R and D across to meet them, meaning less cost per unit.

Now the government wants ELECTRIC VEHICLES, lol! What do YOU PEOPLE think that costs to develop, and do NOT think for an instant that the R and D for them is just built into the electric vehicles; it is placed on ALL their units, so even buying a gasoline car, you are still being forced to pay for the tech to run the electrics, because that is what the government wants, even if at the moment at least, consumers don't! It is akin to back in the day, of how Ford was FORCED to sell 2 or 3 Escorts at a loss, to sell one Crown Victoria, because if they did not do it that way, their company could NOT meet government CAFE standards for the year, and people wondered why the Crown Victoria was so high!

I believe I read where Ford lost 2 or 3 billion with a B this year, because specifically due to their electric vehicle research. So as you can see, government intervention in the free marketplace, hurts manufacturing, even if the government does not directly own the firms they are over regulating. I am 100% positive that due to this, any specific hot selling model from trucks and/or Mustangs just went up, and if you buy one, YOU are paying the freight for the governments over reach, although you probably were not aware of it!

Have you ever really thought about what money really is? Of course not, if you'll vote for Trump or Desantis, you're obviously not too keen on 'thinking'.

My dogs LOVE milk bones. They want milk bones, they will growl & bite anyone that tries to take 'their' milk bone away. Yet, my dogs have no idea what milk bones are, where they come from, why I give them milk bones or who really owns those milk bones.

You, like almost everyone, Love money. You want money, you hate anyone that tries to take 'your' money away. Yet you obviously don't know what money is, where it comes from, why some people have an abundance while others have a scarcity or who really owns that money.

Until people like you get WOKE to the realities of what money is, where it comes from and who really owns it, there's no point in discussing any financial issues with you. You like the other MAGGOTS (i.e. MAGA Idiots), will remain - OBLIVIOUS!!!!

Wow hope you have a good one

regardless of what people think about Republicans or Democrats, we have one of the worst economies in American history right now. Someone needs to be done about that.

And think before you make assumptions about people…. I’m a Democrat. I believe in helping the workingman I come from the middle class and I recognize like many Americans that today’s Democratic Party has gone way too far to the left. Take this threads topic …we almost never hear Democrats talking about lowering taxes for the middle class or bringing us back the types of manufacturing jobs that we had throughout the 20th century.… instead many Democrats are dividing us with Racial discussions, abortion, complaining about Donald Trump, white supremacy, white privilege, iow talking about things that doesn’t help anybody… things that don’t lower the price of homes or lower the interest rates for home loans which are at 7 % but we’re at 2% when Trump was in office.

People can’t blame Trump for various countries of the world recently getting rid of the US dollar when it comes to foreign trade. You can’t blame the coronavirus on that. That’s just bad leader ship by America … other countries of the world are losing confidence in the United States.

Either Joe Biden will have to improve and bring us a better country or we’re going to hope different leader ship does …. That’s it brother regardless of what we think about anything right now do United States economy is in terrible shape. We can only hope that in 2026 whether it’s a democrat or republican who is president that we have a better country.

The income tax rate should be zero. The founders were right to oppose direct taxes. That directly leads to the split we have in the country today. Politicians can't help but use the tax code for their personal and party's advantage rather than to just fund the government. And the IRS is totally unconstitutional. The sixteenth amendment may have legalized direct taxes, but it didn't suspend our other Constitutional rights, and the IRS constantly ignores our rights. Why can government send a letter telling you to provide documentation without a warrant, for example

I used to be happy to pay 30% but now I am mad as hell because the average billionaire pays 6% in federal taxes. Is absolutely ridiculous and the problem is the GOP end of story.
