Trump threatens to pull FEMA from Puerto Rico

[Lewdog]

Yep, fuck those American citizens!

And this type of statement is coming from people that think it is disrespectful that people kneel for the National Anthem.

Seems comparable right? Kneeling verses dying from lack of clean water and food?

Just an FYI many Puerto Ricans serve in the military. So when you say fuck them they can take care of themselves, you are pissing on the graves of those from Puerto Rico that served and gave their life to defend your freedom... Wait...

Trump threatens to pull FEMA from Puerto Rico

President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that Puerto Rico is going to have to shoulder more responsibility for recovery efforts from Hurricane Maria, saying the federal government's emergency responders can't stay there "forever."

His comments -- in which he also blamed the beleaguered island for a financial crisis "largely of their own making" and infrastructure that was a "disaster" before the hurricane -- come as Puerto Rico still reels from a lack of electricity, public health access and a rising death toll.

Trump's tweets come nearly three weeks after the hurricane, as the vast majority of the island remains without power and the death toll from the storm has risen to 45, authorities said.

Did you know that Puerto Ricans use a tax loophole to avoid paying Federal Income Tax, shouldn't they be punished for not paying their FAIR SHARE?

And here I was told not paying your taxes makes you smart.

Do you take your deductions? Lol.

Just like those Puerto Rican's.

What are some differences between the efforts in Houston, Florida and Puerto Rico? Well, the Cajun Mavy was able to drive from Shreveport to Beaumont but they couldn't drive to San Juan. The Red Cross was able to drive from Atlanta to Jacksonville, but they couldn't drive to Humacoa.

The Texans and the Floridian have names like Bush and the Puerto Rican's don't.

I really do get tired of liberals and their bullshit agenda.

Relevant because.... ? Puerto Ricans can be drafted into the military if a President uses it, but Puerto Ricans can't vote for who the President is. Did you know that?

Yes, imagine the absurdity of paying taxes , and then that money going to help people. Meanwhile, you're buying a new mobile home for every goober that insists on planting one a half mile from Hurricane Heaven, and no complaints....

Fuck you and your liberal agenda.

 

[GHook93]

He is right.

Maybe so, but his delivery is down right horrendous. Man he is a fool. Take it god damn tweeter away.

Can the Rep and Dem finally get together and impeach this ass. I guarantee you could get a majority in the house and you seriously think you couldn’t get 19 GOP senators on board?

At this point who wouldn’t prefer President Pence to President Trump?!?!?!?

Very little, as you likely contribute a relatively very small amount of money to federal tax revenue.

Did you know that Puerto Ricans use a tax loophole to avoid paying Federal Income Tax, shouldn't they be punished for not paying their FAIR SHARE?

Well, would you please define and explain your notion of "fair share," please?


How's this for a loophole: Prepaid Variable Forwards: Hedging Risk and Deferring Taxes

​

When was the last time anyone punished a billionaire for paying federal income taxes at the rate of 1%? More to the point, what is the lowest tax rate at which you've paid federal income taxes in years when you indeed pay federal income taxes.

With regard to individuals, it's no secret that, in general, among wealthy people, the only ones paying 39.6% on their income are the ones who are fool enough to receive a lump-sum lottery payout at the end of the year and before they can (or do) take the appropriate actions to minimize their tax liability.

As an aside:
The abundance of PPFs within the holdings of billionaires and less wealthy but nonetheless very wealthy individuals had a lot to do with why AIG and others were "too big to fail."

With regard to entities having legal "person status," AFAIK, we have not punished any that use loopholes to lawfully pay no or disproportionately less than a fair share of federal income tax:

• 27 giant profitable companies paid no taxes
  
• Meet the 18 profitable companies that paid no taxes over 8 years
  
  • Below are the 18 companies that paid no federal income tax from 2008-2015, according to ITEP. Many of them are in the energy sector.

• Among large, profitable entities, 19.5% paid nothing in federal income taxes in 2012.
  
  • Profitable corporations, on average, from 2008 to 2012, paid 14% of their earnings in federal income taxes.
• 2012 Corporation Complete Report
  
  • Looking at the 2012 data in able 18 and restricting the sample to the types of companies that the GAO included in its report, one finds that in 2012, out of 1.6M corporate tax returns, only 51% were returns that had positive “net incomes,” and only 32% were returns that had positive “incomes subject to tax.” These are both measures of pre-tax income.
    
    From the information above, we know that the 18 companies listed in second bullet must be among those 1.6M corporate tax return filers. I bid one to examine those companies 10-K income statements and determine which of them had EBIT, EBIT less DTL, or NI of zero or less.

The single biggest loophole in the whole of the IRS Code is the one that allows corporations to calculate report taxable income differently than they calculate and report 10-K income, that is income (and other business metrics) reported to current and potential owners/investors. And make no mistake; there is no punishment for availing oneself of that loophole and all the others found in the tax code.
