#1

The problem isn't that we're taxed too little, the problem is the government spends too much

The federal government collected a record $1,665,484,000,000 in individual income taxes in calendar year 2018, according to the Monthly Treasury Statements for year, which the Treasury finished publishing today with the belated release of the December statement.

Me sarcastic? No couldn't be. I am much too dim witted to grasp the quaint subtleties of such potent mockery!!!

And that much comes from roughly half the population.

True. You'd think having all parts of government controlled by Republicans for two years some effort would have been made. But no - we get a tax cut for corporations and the debt just keeps movin' on up.

I'm sure China is looking at that number counting out how much of it belongs to them.

Come on, you know that isn't how that works. In any case, they are probably estatic about their U.S. investments since their markets are dropping drastically.

You mean to say Trump knows what hes doing?

Look for China to attempt to interfere with the 2020 election. They badly want a spineless democrat in office.

5.6% of our debt belongs to China.
Just under 30% of all of our debt is owned by foreign gov't and investors.

The majority of our debt is actually on the taxpayers.

Every time this country gets a pay raise it goes out and buys a new car. Lately it's been a Mercedes.

How much of that are they returning though?

Tax returns are dumb.
Stop taxing people if you're going to just give it back.
And stop giving people a surplus (A return in excess of taxes paid) just because they have kids out of wedlock or decided McDonalds was a fine career choice for their life.

This country is effed man lol it's never gonna get better.


Sorry.... tax season pisses me off.

We're currently getting a poor return on investment.
