Wouldn’t it be more effective to make the wealthy and corporations pay tax?

Blasphemy!
Worse - socialism, and possibly Marxism!

All i said was “that meal was good enough for Jehovah…!”
I’m so saddened I got down voted for my life of Brian quote from uncouth mouth breathers who didn’t recognize it.
Don’t let the uncouth mouth breathers get ya down…!
Right? How dare them?
As of Q1 2025 US household debt was $18.2 trillion dollars. This is like a guy who lives in a van down by the river asking a homeless guy to help him make his van payments.
Even worse - a guy who lives in a big, white house asking it of a guy who lives in a van down by the river.
Debt per capita is $108k. Median net worth is 121k. Median savings: $600. Yeah, this is something for the upper percentiles. The majority of the population can’t make a dent in the national debt.
i would pay for a exclusive, patron only, early access to the Epstein files, no gimmicks
Here are all of the Epstein Files that have either been leaked or released.

Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That sounds just like taxes, but with extra steps.
Except you already pay taxes this is just to bleed the poor dry faster, qnd drip barely anything towards the debt so they can claim the finances are fine, to keep the real government happy, investors.

It is voluntary
Someone posted elsewhere that this is a program that’s existed a long time, not from Trump, which would make it disingenuous to report on it as though its brand new.
The new stuff is accepting payments in Venmo and PayPal.
Meaning Murdoch is stirring up old shit and making it look new in his fight with Trump?
I’ll allow it.
I will never help pay down the national debt willingly. The 1% did it, so they can pay it back.
The debt of the nation are the income and assets of the 1%. They don’t want the debt to disappear.
One of the most astute comments I’ve ever read.
I don’t think that is the case
It has more to do with 50-100 years of reckless spending
And what class is usually in control of the government?
I mean, they do have a voting block that regularly donates to televangelists… Those extra private jets have to come from somewhere.
I think those donations were from decades ago. Apparently the likes of Copeland’s “church” needs staff to bring boomers to the front so it looks like loads on tv
No Patreon, GoFundMe or Ko-fi?
Trump doing a weekly Patreon video to thank the top donors whose usernames are just a bunch of puns on slurs
So the US tax code is switching to a “Pay what you want” model?
Rich people: “Switching?”
Honestly it would be cool if Americans could choose how their money is used. Have a base tax plus you choose 3 programs out of 10.
When I was a kid, I assumed that was how it worked. When I found out it wasn’t, my reaction was something like, “then what even is a democracy?”
“and to the republic for which it stands”
Not a democracy : /
Ultra Rich: “Pay?”
Might as well start a GoFundMe at this point. I heard people nowadays will throw tons of money at fascists.
The news is basically free Only Fans where I get to see Americans get fucked by their government.
I heard people nowadays will throw tons of money at fascists.
I’d gladly drop my entire net worth on Trump and all his cronies heads…as long as I am allowed to convert it all to pennies first.
Better to just burn the money; at least you can keep warm that way, maybe cook some hot dogs.
Amazed an NYPost article isn’t getting more scrutiny on Lemmy
But either way it appears to be verified by multiple other sources
You can find the site here: https://www.pay.gov/public/form/start/23779454
For those who didn’t read the article:
The donation program has existed since 1996, with a total of $67.3 million contributed — an amount that remains negligible compared to the federal debt.
The only new thing is more convenient donation methods.
I’m pretty sure they’re already getting 30% from my gross. Plus I somehow owe them an additional few grand every year.
Speaking of, anyone else find it funny (read blatantly obvious) that you cant choose a tax amount this year on your W4? Used to be able to select withholding amount, now its just “We’ll figure it out for you”. I bet they were afraid of everyone marking 0 this year.
