The reason we're only hearing about spending cuts

[jc456]

It is not illegal when the government is controlled by the corporations and wealthy folks.

do you know private companies bring money into the country? that in itself is a win over a fking losing government job. Why should a building pay taxes?

 

[jc456]

Indeed, but don't forget, Trump says they need a tax cut.

post him saying tesla needed a tax cut.

The workers in government are there to perform services for citizens, they are not in service to make one man wealthy.

No shit. Obvious and not responsive, but very trite of you.

Does Tesla pay income taxes for operations in the US?

 

[TNHarley]

So they do what literally every person and company in this country uses = expenditures.
But musk is a bad guy for doing it!

Fuckin clown

Tesla Reported Zero Federal Income Tax on $2 Billion of U.S. Income in 2024

No surprise, of course. To some of us. The least we can do is install a minimum effective tax rate.

Limbaugh convinced the guy in the trailer home that what was good for a billionaire is good for a guy in a trailer home.

That guy is still in that trailer home, voting Republican. The billionaire's net worth has increased exponentially.

"dont get rid of expenditures! Tax the rich at a higher rate!"
"ZOMG the rich are taking advantage of expenditures that every person and company enjoys! Viva La Revolution!"

 

[Billiejeens]

mac is still talking about his buddy Limbaugh....

Oh

Mac hate Rush even more than he hate Trump Supporters.

Rush showed that there was accurate information out there that the Cult approved Media buried.

It is not just what the media covers, it is what they refuse to cover that is really important.

Goo old MAGA, never found a problem they couldn't twist into a pretzel and blame a Democrat..

Do you take issue with the truth found within that post?

 

[jc456]

Does Amazon? If they don't pay taxes, it's not because of anything trump did, right?

 

[Darkwind]

We all use the tax breaks afforded us when we fill out our taxes. I don't see what the problem is for Musk to do the same, as others on here seem to.

I don't have a problem with it. But for so many people, they someone or a business files taxes at the end of the year and manage to get a refund or a zero balance, and they say that they didn't pay taxes for the year.

What they really mean to say is that the government failed to take money from them at the end of the year. Everyone and every business pays taxes throughout the year, and that money is being used by the government..

In the end, it is greed on behalf of the government, as if a government has some kind of rights.

If you feel that every business must hand over money for government projects, then change the code so that they do that and let the world see your greed and willingness to punish the wealth makers in the world.

without private business there is no money for the government jobs. Do you know this? I wish you stupid fks would educate yourself on what is revenue and what is a net loss.

 

[Billiejeens]

I assume that is from gaming the systme with deductions that predate Trump.

So..... so what?


i mean, would you care if he had paid a lot? Would that make you like him? Is him paying less making you like him less?


You don't care, about this, why do you think I should?

Don't think that he gamed the system.
Tesla was performing a service that the lunatics on the left wanted, while making a fabulous product.

They rewarded Tesla with monetary compensation.

Which the left loved until just recently.

I agree with you....and was referring to others here besides you....

SOOOOOOOOOOOO MOONGLOW, you are now admitting that under the Biden Administration, the government was controlled by corporations, and rich folks? Because if you claim it is all about Trump, why would RICH people cut spending, when they could get some of it in their own pockets?

Honestly GLOW WORM, we are kinda chuckling. You have Musk losing more money than the whole Democratic party could ever earn in 20 years, but he is doing it to fleece the Treasury!

I have never thought of you as dumb, but now, I am beginning to wonder; although, it could be you are just going along with a LEFTIST narrative.

I paid $28,000 in federal income taxes in 2024.

Tesla paid $0 on $2.3 billion in income.

This is the problem with our tax code.

Tesla Reported Zero Federal Income Tax on $2 Billion of U.S. Income in 2024

Tesla reported $2.3 billion of U.S. income in 2024 but paid zero federal income tax. Over the past three years, the Elon Musk-led company reports $10.8 billion of U.S. income on which its current federal tax was just $48 million.

itep.org

Tesla's net income in 2024 was $7.1 billion.
I don't know where these guys pulled their numbers, but without
more info, ITEP should be ignored.

Tesla saved half a billion in taxes last year using accelerated depreciation.

Ok. So what?

Tax breaks for executive stock options shaved a quarter billion off the company’s tax bill.

Ok. A bigger so what?

Musk’s company also used net operating losses to offset current year income

They used previous losses to offset current earnings? Well duh!
