    Poll: are you upset that Trump is giving our tax dollars to criminals

    Get in line. I want to be reimbursed for nonsensical spending on entitlements, illegals, fraud and a giant pile of other government waste.

    The Entirely Made Up Claim That Corporations Pay No Taxes

    I already explained to you what a Ponzi scheme is. I never said SS is one, just pointed out similarities to bridge the conversation that was already happening ITT. And market manipulation is different than a Ponzi scheme, by definition. This is now multiple times that you have illogically...

    This doesn’t make any sense, like many of your posts. Probably not worth spending any more of my time on you.

    Nope. Don’t like that. Never felt good about it. Two bad choices.

    Poll: are you upset that Trump is giving our tax dollars to criminals

    Voted yes. To be clear, it’s not specifically for J6 rioters. There are probably others who have been adversely affected by the federal government and deserve compensation. But I have zero confidence that it will be administered well. And J6 rioters are yuge, yuge losers.

    The Entirely Made Up Claim That Corporations Pay No Taxes

    You are confusing Ponzi scheme with pyramid scheme. A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors. Organizers promise high returns with little or no risk, but instead of engaging in legitimate business activities, they use incoming...

    The Entirely Made Up Claim That Corporations Pay No Taxes

    To be clear, I’m not upset about paying into the system. I am annoyed with several things: — Paying a ton into the system, and being told I don’t pay my fair share. — Attempts to force me to pay even more into the system, when I already pay a ton. — Ignorance at what high earners actually pay...

    The Entirely Made Up Claim That Corporations Pay No Taxes

    You have to work on some mix of age increases, benefit reduction and COLA limits. I think it’s asinine to hand the government money your entire life for it to then be returned to you in retirement after a dogshit return, so I don’t support any additional funding of the program. Ideally, we...

    The Entirely Made Up Claim That Corporations Pay No Taxes

    A few things: — While SS tax stops at $185K, your income tax rate jumps 8% at $201K, more than making up the difference. You also have other taxes that start kicking in as you climb the income ladder. — You aren’t accounting for couples paying dual SS. My wife and I both pay the full capped...

    The Entirely Made Up Claim That Corporations Pay No Taxes

    I specifically said roboadvisor or index funds. Wealthfront has a $500 minimum. VTI basically has no minimum. These aren’t just for rich people. Not to mention, you are making quite a leap talking about “rich” people and then jumping all the way down to someone with $2-3K to their name. And...

    If you actually make 52X+ what I do, congrats. You would actually fit the description of rich that these dorks want to squeeze for more money. My entire point is that I do not, yet the losers on the left keep proposing tax policy that would take more money from my family. You guys can **** right...

    The Entirely Made Up Claim That Corporations Pay No Taxes

    Dude what are you talking about? Financial advisors and credit cards? Go to Wealthfront and anyone can get a roboadvisor or index funds which are going to do as well as most advisors. And the only credit card I can think of that meets your description is the Centurion Amex, which I don’t have...
