So the true purpose becomes visible

[Curried Goats]

The IRS will never beat multi-billionaires at their own game, which is making and keeping money. Typical IRS tax auditor is lightly trained after graduating near the bottom of his or her (or xer) college class. With the emphasis on DEI over the last four years, the hiring pool declined further.

Multi-billionaires hire the best of the best tax law firms, for whom those DEI hires are no match. Funding futile investigations is not a sound investment of my tax dollars. It only enriches the tax law firms.

So another vote for rolling over and surrendering to your wealthy betters? Why are so many of you such surrender monkeys?

If trump and the repubs wiped out the deficit in one month you and the other trump haters would be apoplectic

Whether trump does or does not do something the reaction from you is the same

What I know is that this is fantasy, built to equivicate your support of concentrated wealth. No, I don't think a country should have billionaires. I don't think it's prudent for any society to allow such large concentrations of wealth, resources and influence to be held by a small few and nowhere have I seen a single Democrat suggest wealth should be concentrated in the hands of the Democratic party.

What is fantasy is your notion that billionaires should not exist. What is reality is that you want to punish success and wealth. In America, people are free to go out and pursue economic opportunities that can potentially reward with wealth. This is what America was founded on. This is the reason why immigrants worldwide seek to come to America.

Your notion of concentrated wealth is what exists in places like China, Russia, North Korea, Iran; and to a certain extent, failed western nations adaptations of Socialism.

Not interested in your deflecting.

 

[Mac-7]

This isn’t about tax increases. It’s about rooting out tax fraud. Now you don’t want to find fraud? Really?

I think a better approach is to simplify the tax code and eliminate most if not all of the loopholes that allow one taxpayer to pay less than someone else

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Lefties think borrowing money and piling on debt can go on forever

But it cant

So, why does your dear leader want to raise the debt ceiling?
Let alone, acquiring Canada, Greenland, Gaza and the Panama canal?

 

[Mac-7]

Because its not practical to reduce spending by so much so fast

We need gradual and orderly reduction and we’re getting it with trump

Ha! As if a real estate magnate and a bunch of billionaires are ever going to simplify the tax code. They said that last time and made it more complex with more loopholes for themselves.

If you want to make it so one taxpayer doesn’t pay less to an another, I take it you are opposed to excluding taxes from tips and overtime. Because that’s exactly what that does.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Trump is increasing spending.
Just like he did his first term.

After he acquires Canada, Greenland,Gaza and the Panama canal?

Nuthin' Fancy cant even agree that spending reduction should be gradual and orderly

 

[Mac-7]

Trump is increasing spending.
Just like he did his first term.

He has not signed a budget yet so you really dont know that

Maybe someday we can get zero baseline budgeting to end the automatic spending increases

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Nuthin' Fancy cant even agree that spending reduction should be gradual and orderly

Yes, I do.
That's only because Trump's plan doesn't do that.
At all.

America was founded on the exploitation of slaves for the purposes of growing wealth for Plantation and slave owners. Capitalism is a class based economic system. It requires the existence of a Capital class and a labor class and it's designed, largely, to benefit the class with Capital.

Your notion of concentrated wealth is what exists in places like China, Russia, North Korea, Iran; and to a certain extent, failed western nations adaptations of Socialism.

That's just more hyperbole and make believe. I understand that the American people are incredibly productive. I want workers to keep a larger share of the proceeds of production rather than the investor class.

 

[Mac-7]

Yes, I do

I’m glad I cleared that up for you

It does not sound like you are suited for America. We are a Capitalist Economy.

I don't give a shit what it feels like to you.

@nuthin fancy:

Did you stay long enough to see trump honor the mother and sister of Linkin Riley?

They were in tears as he described what happened to Linkin

I bet a lot of viewers around the nation shed a tear also

Huh?
WTF are you talking about?

My version of the tax code would be very simple

One tax rate for everyone with nor deduction for any reason

That way the unwashed masses of democrats cannot tax the middle class and the rich without taxing yourselves also

I will get the entire speech in one form or another, in the following days.
