The 2017 GOP Tax Scam Is Paying For Itself - By Taxing Scammed Seniors

[skews13]

As they drafted their massive corporate tax giveaway in 2017, ultimately passing it in the dead of night with exactly zero Democratic support, congressional Republicans tried to devise the most clever ways to skew the current tax code in ways that rewarded their wealthiest political donors, those corporations and individuals who had poured stupendous amounts of untraceable dark money into byzantine Republican PACs, all of it intended to achieve the overarching goal of eliminating their obligation to pay taxes.

But those Republicans only had a finite sum of money to work with, So Republicans got creative.

As Laris notes, they also “temporarily” limited deductions for people who had lost their property due to floods, fires and earthquakes. But that wasn’t enough, either.

Then someone had a flash of insight: What if we just eliminate the previous, established tax deduction for those victimized by frauds or scams? Those people—mostly old folks—were going to feel so foolish at being victimized, they’d never complain! Besides, older, helpless fraud victims don’t have any lobby representing them, no one to advocate on their behalf. Why not just change the tax code so they have to pay full taxes on their losses, even if those losses were incurred because of con men and scammers? It was a solution perfectly befitted to a party slavishly beholden to a serial con man and fraudster like Donald Trump.

As a result, ever since the 2017 Republican tax abomination went into effect, with Trump’s blessing and signature, many Americans victimized by fraud schemes are now burdened with the responsibility of paying taxes on money that has been stolen from them.

That's all bullshit. I made three thousand more under Trump's tax system with the same income-deductions. I think Biden already raised taxes this year (I paid more, everything else being the same) and with all his idiotic spending proposals (supporting 12 million illegal aliens, student loan forgiveness, funding Ukraine's war, buying weapons for IRAN and its proxies and prosecuting Trump), he's no doubt looking for more money to piss away. The working man says, keep the cuts. MAGA

I have a similar story. I have paid less in federal taxes since Trump's tax cuts than I was paying before and I just have to file a short form to do it.

Poor skrewey doesn't work or pay taxes so he is dependent on what he reads in his comics.
